Liga 2 is the second tier of professional football in Romania. It features teams that compete for promotion to Liga 1, the top division. The league typically consists of around 20 teams, and the season runs from late summer to spring, with each team playing home and away matches. The structure of Liga 2 allows for a competitive environment, where the best-performing teams at the end of the season can earn promotion. Conversely, the lowest-ranked teams face relegation to lower divisions, making every match crucial for teams aiming to improve their standings.
