Russian Second Division

Russian Second Division

The Russian Second Division is the third level of Russian professional football. The division is run by Russian Professional Football League.

The Second Division is geographically divided into 5 zones: "West" (Northwestern European Russia), "Centre" (Northern and Eastern European Russia), "South" (Southern European Russia), "Ural-Povolzhye" (Southern Urals and Western Siberia), and "East" (Rest of Siberia). The number of clubs in each zone varies between years. In 2006, there were 81 clubs in the division (there were 79 in 2005), and there are currently 79 in 2008.

The winners of each zone are automatically promoted into the First Division. The bottom finishers of each zone lose professional status and are relegated into the Amateur Football League.
