    CARACAS, Feb. 10 (Xinhuanet) -- Venezuela's National Women's Football League (LNFF) will restructure its current system and have two categories, a superior one and and a promotional one, the organization told local media on Friday.

    The new format was agreed at the third LNFF meeting this Friday in Caracas, which is trying to find ways to boost women's football in Venezuela.

    Laureano Gonzalez, LNFF coordinator general, said that the first contest structured in this way would take place on Feb. 18.

    Rafael Almarza, Venezuela's national football director, said that he wants to consolidate men's, women's, junior and adult football under one roof.
