Liga 4, organized by Georgian Football Federation since 2019, represents a fourth tier of Georgian football league.

Structure and league system

In 2018 GFF decided to equally divide the twenty-team Liga 3 into two leagues by introducing Liga 4 for the 2019 season. Out of ten clubs the top two were promoted to Liga 3 and the bottom two were supposed to be relegated to Regional league.

However, in February 2020 the league regulation sustained new changes which saved the doomed teams from relegation and enlarged the tournament with four Regionuli Liga clubs.[1]

In January 2021 GFF announced that the number of clubs participating in the 2021 season would be increased to twenty.[2]

Seasons run based on Spring-Autumn system.

Seasons

2019

In the first season ten teams played 27 games each. Eventually, two clubs from Tbilisi finished in top places awarding them promotion to the upper league.[3]

2020

The season was due to start in April, but Covid-2019 postponed it for four months. In July GFF decided to form White and Red Groups with winners getting automatic promotion and bottom two clubs going down.[4] 16 teams were split into two groups. The football season started in August and lasted five months with each team playing 14 games only. Two winners and two runners-up were promoted to Liga 3.
