Organisation of Football in Ukraine

The organisation of football in Ukraine is based on a hierarchical league system, allowing clubs to ascend or descend based on their performance. This structure is divided into several levels, ranging from professionalism to semi-professionalism, down to amateur football.

At the top of the hierarchy is the Ukrainian Premier League, which is the highest level of Ukrainian football. It comprises 14 professional clubs vying for the title of Ukrainian champion. The bottom two teams in the standings at the end of the season are relegated to the Persha Liha, which also includes 16 clubs. The top two teams from this division are promoted to the Premier League, while the bottom three descend to the Druha Liha.

The Druha Liha, the third tier, hosts 20 teams, predominantly semi-professional. The top two teams are promoted to the Persha Liha, and the bottom four are relegated to the Amateur League. This level is subdivided into several regional groups, operating on the same principle of promotion and relegation with the Druha Liha and the regional divisions.

Beyond the Amateur League, the system continues with regional and departmental divisions, highlighting the depth and richness of Ukrainian football at all levels of competition.
