Icelandic football league system
- Icelandic football league system
The Icelandic football league system is a series of interconnected leagues for club football in Iceland.
The system
Below shows how the current system works. For each division, its English name, official name or sponsorship name (which often differs radically from its official name) and number of clubs is given. Each division promotes to the division(s) that lie directly above them and relegates to the division(s) that lie directly below them.Only two teams are promoted from 3. deild (division 3). The top two teams from each group play in a knock-out competition (played home and away) with the final being one match determining the division 3 champions. Both finalists are promoted to 2. deild. The two teams relegated from 2. deild take a place in their provincial group. The groups can change from year to year based on the number of teams in each area. KSÍ (the FA) attempts to distribute the teams evenly between groups.
Cup competitions
Clubs at all four levels are eligible for cup competitions.
