Competition
details and format
The Slovak Fourth League, or 4. Liga (in Slovak), also
officially named IV. Liga,
represents the fourth tier in the football system of Slovakia. The 2024-2025
season is the 32nd since Slovakia separated from the Czech Republic
to become an independent state in 1993, and the third one in which the Fourth
League became the highest league organized by the regional football
associations, consisting of four groups (East, Central, West and Bratislava),
after a major reorganization which had taken place in 2022. The season started
on 27 July 2024 and is scheduled to end on 15 June 2025.
There are 63 teams competing in the Fourth League in
2024-2025, almost equally divided into the 4 geographical groups: East (Východ, 16 teams), Central (Stred, 14 teams), West (Západ, 17 teams) and Bratislava (16 teams). The competition
format was established as a double (home and away) round-robin championship,
each team playing all other teams twice, once at home and once away, a total of
30 rounds in the groups of 16 teams. The winners of every group promote to the Third
League (3. Liga), and sometimes the second classified may be promoted as well
(especially in the East Group), while the bottom classified team(s) (the last
or the last two) are relegated to the Fifth League (4. Liga) at the end of the
season. They are to be replaced by teams relegated from the Third League and
teams promoted from the Fifth League.
Matches in the Fourth League groups are organized by
the respective regional football associations. The East (Východ) group is
organized by the Eastern Slovak Football Association (Východoslovenský Futbalový Zväz) and consists of
teams located in Prešov and Košice regions in the eastern part of Slovakia. The
season is divided into two unequal parts, separated by a large winter break,
which was also a transfer window period. The first part of the season (including
17 rounds) started on 27 July 2024 and ended on 10 November 2024, while the second
part of the season (including the remaining 13 rounds) is scheduled to start on
22 March 2025 and to end on 15 June 2025. Matches are played mostly on Saturday
and Sunday afternoons, while very few rounds are scheduled mid-week.
The main contenders for promotion are MFK Spartak Medzev and 1. MFK Kežmarok, which started very
well, and were classified first and second after the first part of the season. MFK
Spartak Medzev had a very good start of the season, with 15 wins in the
first 17 matches. At winter break, they were 9 points ahead of 1. MFK Kežmarok in second place. In their turn, 1. MFK Kežmarok were 5 points ahead of MFK Slovan Sabinov in
third place and 6 points from the fourth classified, newly-promoted MFK Rožňava. FK Gerlachov, OFK-SIM
Raslavice and FK Čaňa are also within reach
of the third place. These teams will be likely involved in the fight for
promotion. While the top spot of MFK Spartak Medzev seems almost
impossible to challenge, there might be an interesting battle for the second
place, which may as well lead to promotion to the Third League, as it has happened
in every year since 2022 in the East Group.
MŠK Spartak Medzilaborce, 1.
FK Svidník, OŠK Rudňany and OŠK Pavlovce nad Uhom are
the teams most likely to be involved in the fight to avoid relegation. In this
season, due to certain circumstances related to the low number of teams in the
Third League – East Group and in the Second League, it is possible that only
one team will be relegated. At winter break, MŠK Spartak Medzilaborce were
last, winning only one game out of 17, and were 4 points behind 1. FK
Svidník, which have just been relegated from the Third League, 7 points
behind OŠK Rudňany
and
10 points behind OŠK Pavlovce nad Uhom. In the second
part of the season, these teams will fight for survival in the Fourth League.
