2020–21 Liga IV explained

Season:2020–21
Nextseason:2021–22

The 2020–21 Liga IV was the 79th season of the Liga IV, the fourth tier of the Romanian football league system. The season was initially postponed due to the high costs generated by COVID-19 pandemic, but on 7 April 2021, the Romanian Football Federation approved a new protocol for the amateur leagues, with lower costs.[1] The county associations had only a month to play a blitzkrieg season, but only 24 leagues (out of 42) had a competition and announced a champion in time, three other county associations (Călărași, Giurgiu and Vrancea) organized a competition, but which ended after the deadline imposed by the FRF.[2] [3]

The promotion play-off will be played in two rounds. First round will be played between 6 winners of Liga IV (chosen randomly), consisting of 3 matches played on neutral ground. The second round will be played as a promotion/relegation play-off, between last two teams of each 2020–21 Liga III series (2X10) and the county leagues winners.[4]
