Ligue 1 is the name of the top professional football league in France. It was formerly known as Division 1 and is one of the most prestigious leagues in European football.

The name 'Ligue 1' officially replaced 'Division 1' in 2002.

The Austrian Bundesliga has been in operation since 1974-75 and features clubs from Austria. Switzerland's top league is called the Swiss Super League, Portugal has the Primeira Liga, and Russia has the Russian Premier League, so none of those options are correct.
