2008
NB: starting from 2003, no annual playoff for the championship is foreseen
anymore.
The 2005 season was originally intended to be a transitional one, with
a 'Torneo Adecuación' only followed by a 2005/06 'European' season with
Apertura and Clausura; however, after the Apertura 2005/06 it was
decided to stick to the calendar year season and so the 2005/06 was
aborted (it is listed under 2005 Ap above).
[*] the Clausura 2004 was won by The Strongest after winning a penalty shootout
in the decisive third leg of the final against Oriente Petrolero; however,
on March 4, 2005 (more than two months after the final!), The Strongest had
8 points deducted retroactively due to a controversy on the citizenship of
their 'keeper Marcelo Robledo, and Oriente were proclaimed champions;
The Strongest apparently later won a legal battle against the LPFB
(professional football league of Bolivia) at a Constitutional Tribunal,
but neither the LPFB nor the FBF (Bolivian FA, chaired by the president
of Oriente) have followed its ruling to restitute the title to The Strongest.
