Swedish football league system

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Swedish football league system is a series of interconnected leagues for club football in Sweden which is controlled by the Swedish Football Association and consists of 274 teams in 22 leagues divided in five levels. Below those five levels, additional regional levels numbered six to ten exist but are controlled by the regional associations and not by the nationwide association.

The table below shows how the current system works. For each division, its Swedish name and number of clubs is given. It isn not certain that each division is a feeder of teams to the division that lie directly above it and relegates teams to the divisions that lie directly below it, even though this usually is the case. The system used is new for the 2006 season and on. The new feature being the additional two Division 1 series on the 3rd level, pushing down Division 2 and Division 3 a level on the ladder.
