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.
