In 2018, the
GFF decided to form an additional division between
Liga 3 and
Regionuli Liga by introducing Liga 4 for the 2019 season. After the first year the top two clubs were promoted to Liga 3 and the bottom two were supposed to be relegated to Regional league. However, in February 2020 the league regulation sustained new changes, which saved the doomed teams from relegation and enlarged the tournament with four more
Regionuli Liga clubs. In January 2021, the Federation announced that the number of clubs participating in the upcoming season would be increased to twenty, although for the next year they were reduced back to sixteen. Since the 2022 season, the top three teams earn automatic promotion to Liga 3 and the bottom four clubs are relegated to
Regionuli Liga. The league underwent one change in 2023: with fourteen clubs competing this season, the drop zone was reduced to two places. The number of teams in each season: •
2019 = 10 •
2020,
2022,
2025, 2026 = 16 •
2021 = 20 •
2023 = 14 •
2024 = 15 Each club play each of the other clubs twice (once at
home and once
away) and obtain three points for a win, one for a draw and no points for a loss. From these points a league table is constructed. At the end of the season the top three teams gain promotion to Liga 3. Similarly, the three teams that finish at the bottom are relegated to Regionuli Liga. A team can be spared relegation if another team either resigns or is expelled from the league. Final league position is determined, in order, by points obtained, head-to-head points, head-to-head
goal difference, head-to-head goals scored, head-to-head away goals scored (only if two teams), goal difference and goals scored. Since Liga 4 is the bottom national tier, this is where the Federation may expel a team from higher divisions.
Shukura is the latest club demoted in January 2024. It is the only national division where no
play-offs are held. ==Current members==
