regional champion

Local title holder

A regional champion is the winner of a competition within a specific geographic area, as opposed to a national or world champion.

The term appears frequently in sports, academic contests, and other competitions organized by territory: Our debate team became regional champions last spring.

Being regional champion often qualifies a competitor for advancement to higher levels.
