The Illicocash Ligue 1 is the top division of the Congolese Association Football Federation (FECOFA), the governing body of football in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. It was created in 1958.
In 2010 the competition was renamed the Vodacom Super League following the signing of a five-year sponsorship deal with communications company Vodacom. The 2012 championship was the first in the country's history played in a long-season championship of 14 teams who were removed from their regional leagues for the first time. Prior to that, all regional champions were qualified to the national stage for the winner to be determined.
