Treća HNL
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Croatian Third Football League (Croatian: Treća hrvatska nogometna liga or commonly Treća HNL) is the third tier of football leagues in Croatia.
Within the third tier there are three leagues: West, East and South. Each of these is comprised of eighteen teams. At the end of each season, the bottom teams are relegated to the regional leagues while the winners of each league are either promoted directly or enter a playoff for entrance to the Druga HNL, subject to eligibility.
The league was formed in 1991 following the dissolution of the Yugoslav League. It is operated by the Croatian Football Federation.
Each league is centred around several counties:
- West League (Yellow)
- East League (Green)
- South League (Blue)
