Kategoria e Dytë

Kategoria e Dytë is the third professional level of football in Albania. It was called the Second Division until 2003. Kategoria e Dytë has two groups, A and B. which are divided geographically. Both groups have 12 teams each. The winners of each group earn the right to be promoted to the Kategoria e Parë and they also play a single final for seasonal champions. Teams which finish in the last 2 positions on each group are relegated to the Kategoria e Tretë.[1]
