The K4 League is the fourth tier of the South Korean football league system. After 2019, the semi-professional Korea National League and the former amateur K3 League were rebranded into the current K3 League and K4 League.
Competition format[]
The promotion and relegation system exists between the K3 League and the K4 League, both being semi-professional leagues.[1] However, since the 2021 season, teams from professional leagues K League 1 and K League 2 were allowed to create reserve teams set to play in the K4 League, in order to give academy players and/or other registered players more game time.
