League system[]

Men[]

Premium liiga[]

Main article:

The 2022 season of Premium liiga was originally supposed to have top nine clubs from the previous season in addition to Esiliiga champions Maardu Linnameeskond. But on two separate occasions two clubs - Viljandi Tulevik, who finished 8th in 2021, and Maardu Linnameeskond, who were the reigning Esiliiga champions - released a statement, where they confirmed that they will give up their place in the top division and due to financial problems play in the lower divisions. While Tulevik joined Esiliiga,[5] Maardu decided to compete in II liiga.[6] This therefore gave another opportunity to Pärnu Vaprus, who finished last season tenth, and Tallinna Kalev, who was second in Esiliiga, to compete in the Premium liiga.[6][7] A few days before the beginning of the season, the Estonian FA announced that Tallinna Legion would receive -4 points and a transfer ban for missing multiple licensing dates.[8]

Esiliiga[]

Main article:

The 2022 season of Esiliiga had six competitors from last years Esiliiga and four newcomers. While last year's champion Maardu Linnameeskond got promoted to Premium liiga, the top divisions eight team - Viljandi Tulevik - was relegated due to financial difficulties.[5] The other three teams all came from Esiliiga B: Viimsi and Harju Laagri will be debuting in the second division, whereas Ida-Virumaa Alliance returns after spending one year in Esiliiga B. They replace Tartu Welco, Tartu Tammeka U21 and Pärnu, who got relegated after last season.[7] On the 4th of February Maardu Linnameeskond announced that due to financial difficulties they also cannot compete in the top division. Unlike Viljandi, they decided to compete in II liiga and therefore Tallinna Kalev got promoted and Pärnu got readmitted to Esiliiga.[6]

Esiliiga B[]

Main article:

In comparison to the previous year, the tenth season of Esiliiga B had five new clubs in the division. While Viimsi, Harju Laagri and Ida-Virumaa Alliance got promoted, they are replaced by Tartu Welco, Tartu Tammeka U21 and Pärnu, who join the division after spending respectively one, three and two season in Esiliiga. On the other side of the table, Vändra Vaprus and Nõmme Kalju U21, who had spent the last nine years in the top three divisions, got relegated to II liiga. They were replaced by debutants Raplamaa and Tartu Kalev.[7] On the 4th of February Maardu Linnameeskond announced that due to financial difficulties they cannot compete in the top division. Due to them deciding to play in the II liiga, Nõmme Kalju U21, who finished the previous year second to last, got readmitted to Esiliiga B and Pärnu JK, who was relegated due to losing the relegation play-offs, was also readmitted to Esiliiga.[6]

Locations of the 2022 II liiga teams

On 16 December 2021, it was decided that due to the last season being cancelled prematurely, the two II liiga divisions will have 16 clubs in 2022 instead of the usual 14 teams. Therefore, no teams were relegated and the four III liiga champions were promoted.[10] One month later, the Estonian FA announced that the earlier plan had been repealed. The season starts on the 26th of March and consists of 26 rounds. Reserve teams, which do not have "U21" or "U19" in their name, are ineligible for promotion.[11]

North / East
The North/East division had little change in comparison to the previous year: only two new clubs have entered the league: the promoted Tartu Kalev was replaced by III liiga East's second-placed Jõhvi Phoenix, who will be debuting in II liiga, and Põhja-Tallinna Volta, who held last place when the previous season had been stopped, went to II liiga S/W, whereas Viimsi II will try their luck in the II liiga N/E. On the 4th of February Maardu Linnameeskond announced that due to financial difficulties they cannot compete in the top division. Therefore they decided to take their reserve teams place in II liiga, while the reserve team was disbanded.[6] Two weeks after the news containing Maardu Linnameeskond, the FA announced that Lasnamäe Ajax would be transferred to II liiga S/W and FC Tallinn U21 will get promoted after finishing the previous season in III liiga West third.[12]

South / West
For the second year in a row Kose, who was in the bottom two, managed to get readmitted to the league. Instead, 10th placed Raasiku Joker, who had been in II liiga or higher since 2013, and Rummu Dünamo decided against taking part of the 2022 II liiga. In addition, Viimsi II, Viljandi Tulevik U21 (dissolved) and Raplamaa (promoted to Esiliiga B) also left the division. These four teams were replaced by Nõmme Kalju U21, Vändra Vaprus (both relegated from Esiliiga B), Nõmme United U21 and Harju Laagri II (both at the top of III liiga West). Kuressaare and Pärnu Vaprus had their reserve teams change their names from "II" to "U21" for them to be eligible for promotion. On the 4th of February Maardu Linnameeskond announced that due to financial difficulties they cannot compete in the top division. Therefore due to them deciding to play in II liiga, Nõmme Kalju U21 was readmitted to Esiliiga B.[6] A few weeks later, the FA announced that in addition to Nõmme Kalju U21 getting promoted, Põhja-Tallinna Volta decided against playing in the fourth tier. That gave an opportunity to Tabasalu U21, who finished the previous season's III West season fourth.[12]

Locations of the 2022 III liiga teams

The III liiga's competition format is the same as in the previous seasons. Each group has eleven or twelve competitors from which the first club gets promoted to II liiga and the second-placed team takes part in the promotion play-offs, where North - East and South - West go head-to-head. The winners from both pairs go against the 12th teams in II liiga. The clubs, which finish the year 11th and 12th, get relegated to IV liiga. The 10th team takes part of the relegation play-offs. As usual, reserve teams, which have their main team in II liiga, are ineligible for promotion. These teams are Tartu Welco X (South), Rakvere Tarvas II (East) and Tallinna Flora IV (West). The season starts on the 9th of April.[14]

Group A (North)
The 2022 III liiga North division had two newcomers: the previous season's IV liiga champion Tallinna Wolves and second-placed Tallinna Olympic Olybet - who was most recently in the league in 2019 - will replace Tallinna Dünamo, who did not enter the league system this year. In addition, Tallinna Pocarr changed its name to Tallinna Cosmos.[14]

Group B (South)
The South group had only one new team in the division: Tartu Kalev entered its reserve team to the competition. Due to two clubs leaving - Paide Linnameeskond IV and Viljandi Tulevik III - the division only had eleven entrants. There was also one name change: Põhja-Sakala changed its name back to Suure-Jaani United.[14]

Group C (East)
III liiga East division had five newcomers. While Põhja-Tallinna Volta and Raasiku Joker, who have recently been in Esiliiga B, decided to step down from II liiga to III liiga, Kuusalu Kalev and Tallinna TransferWise got promoted from the sixth division. In addition, FCI Levadia also put out a third team called Tallinna Levadia U19. The four teams, which left the league, were Jõhvi Phoenix, Tallinn II (both promoted to II liiga), Lasnamäe Ajax II and Kohtla-Järve Järve III (both dissolved). Before the beginning of the season, Põhja-Tallinn also decided to not take part in the league system and therefore the East group had only eleven entrants in two years in a row.[14]

Group D (West)
The 2022 III liiga West division had the most changes in its line-up. There were six new entrant - Rummu Dünamo (relegated from II liiga), Tallinna Jalgpallihaigla, Tallinna Rumori Calcio (both promoted from IV liiga), Tabasalu Ulasabat, Tallinna Flora IV and Pärnu Tervis (all three did not compete in the previous year) - and six teams, who left the league - Nõmme United U21, Harju Laagri II (got promoted to II liiga), Tabasalu II, Rummu Dünamo II, Tallinna Legion III (all dissolved) and Kernu Kadakas (relegated to IV liiga).[14] One of the newcomers, Pärnu Tervis, had three players, who played in Meistriliiga the previous year.[15]

IV liiga[]

The 2022 season of IV liiga will differ from the previous year's: although the division has as many entrants as in the previous season (26), the clubs voted to have two regions with 13 members. In the first round, every team in the same region will play each other once. In the second round, the table is split into two, as teams ranked 1.-7. and 8.-13. will play five or six games more. At the end of the season, clubs placed in the top four get the opportunity to get promoted to III liiga. Fifth and sixth teams can take part in the promotion play-offs against III liiga's 10th-placed clubs. The season starts on the 24th of April and the first round concludes on the 21st of August.[16]

Coolbet saaliliiga[]

The highest division of futsal in Estonia began on 29 October 2021. Unlike previous seasons, this year the division had ten different clubs due to the COVID-19 pandemic, which stopped 2021 Esiliiga season earlier than expected. Therefore, the top teams could not be decided and three teams competed for another two spots. Sillamäe Kalev and Rõuge Saunamaa managed to get promoted by being ahead of Aruküla Radius. In addition, Tartu Maksimum Welco - who finished 2021 Coolbet saaliliiga in 7th place - merged with Jõgeva Wolves. The team decided to take the Jõgeva-based team's name. While in the previous seasons only six teams have qualified to the final play-offs, then due to the increase of teams, eight teams will get to participate after the main season has ended. Every team will start in the quarterfinals.[18]

Futsal's second division was for the first time in five years the lowest division in Estonia: due to lack of clubs interested in II liiga, the third division was cancelled for this season and the remaining teams were promoted to Esiliiga. Therefore, Rantipol Võru Helios, Otepää Ravens (formerly known as Otepää Kanepi vald) and Äksi Wolves were all promoted to Esiliiga. In addition, Tallinna Cosmos II returs after a four-year hiatus and Jõhvi Phoenix makes its debut. These teams replace Rõuge Saunamaa, Sillamäe Alexela (both promoted), Jõgeva Wolves (merged with Tartu Maksimum Welco) and Viimsi Smsraha U19 (did not compete in the league system).[18]

The season was largely dominated by Tallinna Cosmos II who won the league for the second time after 2018. For the second time in Esiliigas history, the winner did not lose any games (same happened in 2014 with Tallinna Ararat TTÜ, although Ararat played two games less). Cosmos II's only point loss came against Narva Ganza, who drew 4-4 with them. The best team, which was eligible for promotion, was Aruküla Radius who lost only four games. Rantipol Võru Helios reached the promotion play-offs on its debut season. The seasons best goalscorer also came from Võru: Rantipols attacker Eduard Desjatski scored 30 goals. Most assists were given by Radius' Rando Randjõe.
