  Norwegian Premier League - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(In 2005 the second level league was officially named Adeccoligaen after its sponsor Adecco.) From the fall of 1948 to 1962 the top division was called Hovedserien ("The Main League"), and between 1937 and the summer of 1948 it was called Norgesserien ("The League of Norway").
The league champion qualifies for the UEFA Champions League and the four highest ranked teams (including the winner) qualify for the Scandinavian Royal League.
This odd league system caused considerable bitterness in the north in the 50's, 60's and 70's (see also: F.K. Bodø/Glimt and List of Premier League Champions from 1938 to present time).
