The '''Oman Professional League''' ({{langx|ar|[https://mercatoday.com/oman-professional-league-omantel/ دوري المحترفين عمان]}}; known as the ''[[Omantel]] Professional League'' for sponsorship reasons), previously known as the '''[[Omantel]] Elite League''', is the top division of the [[Oman Football Association]]. It was founded in 1976. Currently, the most successful team in the league is [[Dhofar S.C.S.C.|Dhofar]], with 12 titles to its name.

==Evolution to a professional league== In 2010, during the annual draw for the [[Sultan Qaboos Cup]], Sultan [[Qaboos bin Said]], the [[Sultan]] of Oman, granted the [[Oman Football Association|OFA]] an annual sum of 2.6 million [[Omani Rial|rial]] (approximately 6.7 million [[US Dollars|dollars]]) till the year 2015 to further boost the development of the league. The move was made to nurture Oman's football youth, and create higher hopes of Oman qualifying for the [[2014 FIFA World Cup]]. The deal is in addition to the annual 1.6 million rial that the Sultan gives to the OFA every year.

Although being very popular in the local community, it was ranked according to the [[Asian Football Confederation|AFC]] as a Class D football League till the [[2012–13 Omani League|2012–13]] season. Sayyid Khalid bin Hamid Al-Busaidi, OFA President, had already announced his organization's plan to transform the Omani Football League into a professional league by 2012, and also announced to change the league's name to the '''Oman Mobile League.''' The interest from many companies such as [[Nissan]], [[Royal Dutch Shell|Shell]] and [[Oman Mobile]], was one of the main reasons why the league was expected to transform, under with the leadership of Sayyid Khalid.<ref>{{cite web | url = http://www.oeronline.com/php/2009_oct/face2face.php | title = His Highness Sayyid Khalid Hamad Hamoud al Busaidi, chairman and president, Oman Football Association shares his plans to professionalise football in Oman | publisher = OER Oman Economic Review | url-status = dead | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20091106052942/http://www.oeronline.com/php/2009_oct/face2face.php | archive-date = 6 November 2009 | df = dmy-all }}</ref>
