# Faroe Islands football league system

The Faroe Islands league system is a series of interconnected leagues for club football in the Faroe Islands. As of 2018, there are 48 participating men's teams and 15 women's teams in the football league.

## The system

Below shows how the current system, as of 2018, works. For each division, its English name, official name or sponsorship name (which often differs radically from its official name) and number of clubs is given. Each division promotes to the division(s) that lie directly above them and relegates to the division(s) that lie directly below them.
