Football league The Norwegian Second Division, also called 2. divisjon and often referred to as PostNord-ligaen for sponsorship reasons, is the 💹 third-highest level of the Norwegian football league system. There are 28 teams divided into two groups, and at the end of 💹 the season the winner of each group earns promotion to the second-highest division, 1. divisjon. The teams finishing in second 💹 place in their respective group will qualify for the promotion play-offs, where they will face each other. The winner will 💹 play against the 14th placed team in 1. divisjon for promotion. The bottom three teams in each group are relegated 💹 to 3. divisjon. 2. divisjon is the highest league a reserve team can participate in, and only reserve teams from the 💹 Eliteserien clubs (first tier) are allowed to enter. The participation of reserve teams stirs debate from time to time.[1] History [ 💹 edit ] |
