Vitonen

The Vitonen is a planned expansion of the Uralikan Jalkapalloliiga that will come into effect in March of 2011.

Divisions
The divisions run parallel to those of the Nelonen, however there are differences in how this league is run. The most important of these is that there is no exact fixed number of teams in any division, just a range that has to be followed, with a minimum of ten and a maximum of twenty teams in each division. Making up these divisions will be the lowest-level independent clubs, and the reserve teams of Ykkönen and Kakkonen clubs.

Inaugural Season
Each of the sixteen divisions of the Vitonen will come into its final form after the conclusion of this season. It will contain:


 * the 8 lowest-ranked teams in the corresponding Nelonen division
 * Any unincluded reserve teams from the Ykkönen and reserve teams from Kakkonen
 * Potentially other semi-professional clubs.
