Portuguese Second Division

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Portuguese Second Division (formerly called Second Division B) is the third level of the Portuguese football league system.

The division was split into three geographical zones, each with 18 clubs:

  • Northern Zone
  • Central Zone
  • Southern Zone

This situation was changed in the 2005/2006 season, because the number of teams in the Portuguese SuperLiga was reduced, so a major alteration in all football competitions in Portugal occurred. For the 2005/06 season there are going to be four geographical series:

  • Serie A
  • Serie B
  • Serie C
  • Serie D

Then, in the Second Stage, the winner of Serie A plays the winner of Serie B to determine the team promoted to the League of Honour. The same happens to Serie C and D winners.

The last four of all the series are relegated to the Third Division for a number of 16 relegated teams.
