Liga III is the third tier of professional football in Romania. It was established in 2016, replacing the previous format of the Liga II and Liga III divisions. The league consists of several regional groups, allowing clubs from various parts of the country to compete for promotion to the higher divisions. Teams in Liga III play a series of matches throughout the season, with the top teams earning the chance to move up to Liga II. The league serves as an important platform for developing local talent and providing competitive opportunities for smaller clubs in Romania.
