Clausura Clausura

Clausura - Definition and Overview

In recent times, many Latin American football leagues have divided their championships into two sections, awarding a champion for each. The second of the two, usually held in the spring and summer, is known as the Clausura, the "Closing." It can be contrasted with first, fall and winter section, the Apertura, or "Opening."

In French-speaking Haiti, these are known as the Ouverture and the ClĂ´ture.
