football in Iceland

The Icelandic football league system is a series of interconnected leagues for club football in Iceland. As of 2013 a fifth level was added to the previous format of four levels. As of 2013 there are 70 participating teams in the football league.

Below shows how the current system, as of 2013, 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.

Fourth Division playoffs

Only two teams are promoted from 4. deild (Fourth Division). The top two teams from each group, along with the two best placed third-place teams, play in a knock-out competition (played home and away) with the final being one match determining the Division 4 champions. Both finalists are promoted to 3. deild. The two teams relegated from 3. deild take a place in a 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.
