League System
The Belgian football league pyramid has 8 levels:
Nationwide league:
- Pro League
- Second Division
- Third Division (A and B, teams are assigned to a league based loosely on geographic location)
- Fourth Division (A, B, C and D, teams are assigned to a league based loosely on geographic location)
Provincial league:
- Provincial Division 1
- Provincial Division 2
- Provincial Division 3
- Provincial Division 4
Each provincial subdivision of the FA runs its own 4-division league. Only teams that are geographically located in a certain province are allowed to compete in that specific provincial league. A notable exception is the Brabant provincial league, which consists of teams from Flemish Brabant, Walloon Brabant and Brussels.
