2009 Liga Nacional de Ascenso
The Liga Nacional de Ascenso 2009 season (officially "Torneo Primera A 2009") started on February 28, 2009. The defending champion and Apertura winner was Río Abajo and the Clausura winner was Orión. On December 12, 2009 a grand final was played where Río Abajo were crowned champions of the Liga Nacional de Ascenso after defeating Orión 3–1. However (as it happened in the 2008 edition) Río Abajo lost the promotion play-off, but this time against Alianza in a 2–1 aggregate score, thus failing to promote to the Liga Panameña de Fútbol.
Fortunately for the 2010–11 edition of the Liga Nacional de Ascenso the champion will be promoted directly without playing a promotion play-off.
Changes for 2009
- The league increased the number of participating teams from 8 to 10.
- After the Apertura I season Primera A changed it name to Liga Nacional de Ascenso.
