Nelonen

The Nelonen (Finnish for "fourth") is the fifth and lowest level of the Uralikan Jalkapalloliiga, which is split into sixteen divisions based on the eight Kolmonen divisions.

Because of the quickness with which this division was set up, it will actually make its UJPL debut in March of 2010.

The divisional setup is equivalent to a geographical halving of each Kolmonen division.


 * A - Karelia Sapmi (Kolmonen)
 * A1 - Karelia (Nelonen)
 * A2 - Sapmi (Nelonen)
 * B - Vologda-Arkhangel'sk (Kolmonen)
 * B1 - Western Uralica (Nelonen)
 * B2 - Northwestern Uralica (Nelonen)
 * C - Southwestern Uralica (Kolmonen)
 * C1 - Southern Uralica (Nelonen)
 * C2 - Mari El (Nelonen)
 * D - Kirov-Syktyvkar (Kolmonen)
 * D1 - Kirovski Rayon (Nelonen)
 * D2 - Komi-Menno (Nelonen)
 * E - Udmurtiya (Kolmonen)
 * E1 - Udmurtiya North (Nelonen)
 * E2 - Udmurtiya South (Nelonen)
 * F - Permski Rayon
 * F1 - Permski Rayon North
 * F2 - Permsky Rayon South
 * G - Southeast Uralica
 * G1 - Yekaterinburg-East
 * G2 - Nizhny Tagil-West
 * H - Northeast Uralica
 * H1 - Ural West Slope
 * H2 - Yamalia/Yugra

Promotion-Relegation Scheme
The promotion into and relegation from Kolmonen can be tricky business sometimes because of a rule that at least one team from each "half" must be promoted to the "parent" division. Atlhough four teams can be relegated into a division, only a max of three can be promoted up out of it.

In divisions like Division A who have no reserve teams, the lowest Nelonen teams play in the reserve division until slots open up in the regular league pyramid. There could eventually be a small division below each Nelonen division (would be called the Amatööridivisioona).
