Gozo Football League Explained

The Gozo Football League is a football competition for clubs on the Maltese island of Gozo, in the Mediterranean Sea.

The league is run by the two-tier Gozo Football Association and currently has 14 teams split into two divisions, the First Division (8 teams) and the Second Division (6 teams). The BOV GFL First Division is the highest level of the Gozo Football League while the BOV GFL Second Division is the lowest level. At the end of the season, the winners of the Second Division are promoted into the First Division, whilst the bottom club of the First Division is relegated. A promotion/relegation playoff game takes place between the 7th placed First Division team and the team placing second in the Second Division and the winner will participate in the First Division and the loser will participate in the Second Division.
