Norwegian Second Division (women)
The Norwegian Second Division (women) is the third tier of women's football in Norway. It sits below the Toppserien (the top tier) and the First Division (the second tier). The league is organized by the Football Association of Norway (NFF).
The Second Division typically comprises multiple geographically divided groups or leagues. The number of groups and the number of teams in each group can vary from season to season. At the end of the season, the top teams from each group may be promoted to the First Division. Similarly, the bottom teams may be relegated to lower divisions in the Norwegian football pyramid.
The specific regulations regarding promotion and relegation, as well as the structure of the league itself, are subject to change by the NFF. Information on the current structure, teams, and results can typically be found on the NFF's official website or through various football news outlets that cover Norwegian women's football.
The Second Division serves as an important development league for young players and a platform for smaller clubs to compete and potentially rise through the ranks of Norwegian women's football. It provides a competitive environment for players aiming to reach the higher levels of the sport.
