Changes for the 2010âÂÂ11 edition
- The league increased the number of participating teams from 10 to 16. SUNTRACS earned its spot as champions of the 2010 edition of the Copa Rommel Fernández while 5 other teams from the Colón, ChiriquÃÂ, ChiriquàOccidente, Coclé, and Veraguas provincial leagues were invited to participate as part of the league's expansion project.
- The teams were separated into 2 groups (Group A and Group B) containing 8 teams in each.
