Division 6 (Swedish women's football)
Division 6 in Swedish women's football represents the seventh tier of the Swedish women's football league system. It typically features a mix of amateur clubs, reserve teams of higher-division clubs, and newly formed teams.
The league structure within Division 6 varies regionally. Each of the Swedish Football Association's (SvFF) districts organizes its own Division 6 leagues, with the number of leagues and teams per league depending on the number of registered teams in that district.
Teams participating in Division 6 primarily consist of players who are not professional athletes. The focus is often on local competition, player development, and promoting grassroots football. The level of play can vary significantly between different regions and leagues within Division 6.
At the end of each season, the top teams in each Division 6 league are typically promoted to Division 5, while the bottom teams may face relegation, although this is less common due to the structure of the lower leagues. Relegation and promotion rules are determined by each district association.
Division 6 plays a vital role in the overall structure of Swedish women's football, providing a competitive environment for a large number of players and clubs and serving as a stepping stone for players and teams aspiring to play at higher levels.
