I-League 3rd Division, or simply I-League 3, or 3rd Division League, is a men's professional football league in India. It forms the fourth tier of the Indian football league system, below the I-League 2 and above the State leagues.[1][2]

History

For the first time, the AIFF introduced Qualifiers for I-League 2 in the 2022–23 season. On 13 June 2023, the AIFF league committee announced introducing a new league below the I-League 2, where champions of State leagues and nominated clubs will play. State FAs have to nominate a team before July 31.[3] The AIFF wants to create a competitive pyramid with a concrete progression pathway, aimed to give even the smallest of clubs an opportunity to get promoted to the higher divisions.

Nominated clubs

All the Indian states (regional football associations) are divided regionally in a variety of ways, some of them administrative and some more historical. All regional (state) leagues champions earn the right to participate in the I-League 3rd Division at the end of the season
