Football league
The Egyptian Second Division (Arabic : دوري القسم الثاني المصري ) was an Egyptian semi-professional football league representing the second tier of the Egyptian football league system until 2023. It was administered by the Egyptian Football Association . It was below the top professional league in the country, the Egyptian Premier League , and above the regional league Egyptian Third Division .
The league was reformed in 1977, and consisted of multiple groups covering different parts of Egypt, with the winner of each group either gaining automatic promotion to the Egyptian Premier League , or earning a place in the promotion play-offs, depending on the number of groups.
In August 2022, the EFA announced that the league would be abolished following the conclusion of the 2022–23 season , and two new professional and semi-professional leagues, called Egyptian Second Division A and Egyptian Second Division B , respectively, would be created and begin from the following season.[ 1]
The competition was officially abolished on 9 July 2023, after the play-off phase of the 2022–23 season concluded.
