Between 1963 and 1990 the name of the league was 2. divisjon (Norwegian: Second Division), a name that has later been used for the third level league from 1991.
Formally, Adeccoligaen is a professional league. Nevertheless, a significant proportion of the players are semi-professional.

Famous quotes containing the word division:
“The division between the useful arts and the fine arts must not be understood in too absolute a manner. In the humblest work of the craftsmen, if art is there, there is a concern for beauty, through a kind of indirect repercussion that the requirements of the creativity of the spirit exercise upon the production of an object to serve human needs.”
—Jacques Maritain (1882–1973)
