Ligue de Soccer Elite Quebec
The Quebec Elite Soccer League is the top provincial league in Quebec. It operates a number of youth and gender specific divisions.
The senior men's division is composed of a 1st Division and 2nd Division, each with 10 teams. There is promotion and relegation between division 1 and 2, between division 2 and regional AA leagues.
History
Soccer in Quebec before the formation of the Quebec Elite Soccer League was spread between various different senior and junior leagues throughout the province. In 1992, the different rival leagues such as the LMSJQ, LMSSQ and Quebec National Soccer League merged in order to form the Quebec Elite Soccer League. The league was initially structured with two divisions with a promotion and relegation system with Ira Turetsky as the inaugural league president. In 1993, five of the former LNSQ clubs Corfinium St-Leonard, Cosmos de LaSalle, Luso Stars Mont-Royal, Montreal Croatia, and Montreal Ramblers joined the Canadian National Soccer League to form the league's Eastern Division.2010 season
