Professional Football League (LPF) is a sports association of all professional football clubs in Romania that participate in the first national football division, known as Liga1. The idea of setting up a professional league was determined by the need to organize the supreme football competition, like in any country. Romania was no exception to this basic rule of international football and acted accordingly. Under another name, on October 5, 1970, the clubs of the then first league - Division A - were organized in a professional formula, in a state that claimed amateurism. The president of the Romanian Football Federation at that time and head of our country's delegation to the World Championship in Mexico, Mircea Angelescu initiated the formation of the Divisional College A, which he headed for 17 years. The respective College has, practically, no notable activity, being assimilated to the Romanian Football Federation FRF. After the Revolution of December 1989, professional football in Romania evolved, and the union of the first division clubs, the National Football League and, finally, the League of Professional Clubs appeared. On October 10, 1992, the name of this football forum that gathered all the first division clubs changes in the Professional Football League of Division A, and from January 22, 1993, the name became the Professional Football League of Romania, with Mircea Angelescu as its first president. On September 30, 1996, Mircea Angelescu was replaced, at the end of his term, by Dumitru Dragomir, voted as president of the LPF. After 17 years, on November 14, 2013, Gino Iorgulescu was elected, by secret ballot of the executives of the 18 professional clubs in League I, the new president of the Professional Football League. Shortly after his election, Gino Iorgulescu presented a new executive team for the Professional Football League, composed by Justin Stefan, as General Secretary, Robert Pongracz, as Vice President and Ionut Calancia as CFO.
