Iran Football's 3rd Division

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Iranian football's 3rd division (Persian: ليگ دسته سوم ایران) is the fourth-highest football division overall in the Iranian football league system. Before 2001, the 3rd division was known as the 4th division, but this was changed when Iran's football structure officially became professional.

The league consists of eight groups, with the total number of teams in each group varying from five to six. The groups are organized in a manner such that teams closer to each other geographically end up in the same group. Because of this the 3rd division can be considered as a regional league. The first placed teams in each group participate in a playoff tournament at the end of the season to decide which teams are promoted.
