[edit] Current system

The table below shows how the current system works. For each division, its Swedish name and number of clubs is given. It is not guaranteed that each division is a feeder of teams to the division that lies directly above it and relegates teams to the divisions that lie directly below it, even though this usually is the case. The current system is new for the 2007/2008 season. The changes are a top division with fewer teams which has also changed it's name.
