Ukrainian First League

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Persha Liha (Ukrainian: Перша Ліга) or Ukrainian First League is a football league in Ukraine. The league is lower than the Vyscha Liha (also known as the Ukrainian Premier League). The top two teams from the Persha Liha are promoted to the Ukrainian Premier League, while the two lowest teams from the Ukrainian Premier League are demoted to the Persha Liha. The Persha Liha is the second level of the football league in Ukraine.

On November 22, 2005, the Ukrainian Football Federation in conjunction with the Professional Football League announced an expansion of the lower leagues. It was planned to increase the total number of teams in the league to twenty. Therefore, instead of sending three teams down to the Druha Liha only two teams were sent down. Also, instead of bringing up the top teams from each Druha Liha, the top three teams and the best second place team were promoted instead.
