League System
The Faroe Islands has a Football League made up of 4 Divisions. There is also 2 women's leagues and two leagues for the veterans, male and female. As well as youth and junior leagues. There used to be a 5th Division (4. deild), this division was outside the ranking order, meaning teams didn't get relegated from 3. deild, neither could teams be promoted by winning 4. deild. In 2006 the system changed and the Faroese FA decided from season on there would only be 4 levels. This was because many matches were postponed in 4. deild for various reasons. In 2005 HB's fourth team was declared winners of 5. deild after only playing 3 competitive matches. Other changes in 2006 by the FA included the scrapping of the promotion and relegation playoffs at the end of the season, where the team who finished in 9th place would play the team that finished in second place in the league below.

Famous quotes containing the words league and/or system:
“He will deliver you from six troubles; in seven no harm shall touch you. In famine he will redeem you from death, and in war from the power of the sword. You shall be hidden from the scourge of the tongue, and shall not fear destruction when it comes. At destruction and famine you shall laugh, and shall not fear the wild animals of the earth. For you shall be in league with the stones of the field, and the wild animals shall be at peace with you.”
—Bible: Hebrew, Job 5:19-23.
“Our system of government, in spite of Vietnam, Cambodia, CIA, Watergate, is still the best system of government on earth. And the greatest resource of all are the 215 million Americans who still have within us the strength, the character, the intelligence, the experience, the patriotism, the idealism, the compassion, the sense of brotherhood on which we can rely in the future to restore the greatness to our country.”
—Jimmy Carter (James Earl Carter, Jr.)
