Liga IV Giurgiu


Liga IV Giurgiu is the county football division of Liga IV for clubs based in Giurgiu County, Romania. The competition is ranked as the fourth tier of the football league system and is organized by AJF Giurgiu – Asociația Județeană de Fotbal.
It is contested by a variable number of teams, depending on the number of teams relegated from Liga III, the number of teams promoted from Liga V Giurgiu, and the teams that withdraw or enter the competition. The winner may or may not be promoted to Liga III, depending on the result of a promotion play-off contested against the winner of a neighboring county series.

History

The Giurgiu County Championship was formed in 1981 and placed under the authority of the newly established Consiliul Județean pentru Educație Fizică și Sport in Giurgiu, following the territorial reorganization of the country in February of that year. As part of this reform, Ilfov and Ialomița counties were divided, leading to the creation of the new counties of Giurgiu and Călărași.
Initially, the 1980–81 football season had begun under the previous administrative structure, with teams from the area that would later form Giurgiu County still competing in the Ilfov County Championship. After the reorganization, the competition resumed in a revised format, split into a North and a South zone. Petrolul Roata de Jos emerged as the winner of the North zone, while Constructorul Giurgiu won the South zone. The winners of the two zones faced each other in a final to determine the first county champion. Petrolul Roata de Jos initially won the first leg, but the result was annulled due to certain irregularities. The match was subsequently replayed, and the final outcome confirmed Petrolul Roata de Jos as the first official champion of Giurgiu County.
Since then, the structure and organization of Giurgiu’s main county competition, like those of other county championships, have undergone numerous changes. Between 1981 and 1992, it was known as Campionatul Județean. In 1992, it was renamed Divizia C – Faza Județeană, became Divizia D in 1997, and has been known as Liga IV since 2006.

Promotion

The champions of each county association play against one another in a play-off to earn promotion to Liga III. Geographical criteria are taken into consideration when the play-offs are drawn. In total, there are 41 county champions plus the Bucharest municipal champion.
