The North East Wales Football League represents the North East Wales area at the fourth and fifth tier of the Welsh football league system. It was established in 2020 as a successor to the North East Wales League following a reorganisation of the Welsh football pyramid. The league has two divisions, a Premier Division at tier 4, which offers a promotion route to the tier 3 Ardal Leagues, and demotion to the North East Wales League Championship at tier 5.
History[]
The league was established in 2020. The member clubs in the first season were announced[1] before being amended before the season commenced by clubs folding and moving divisions.[2] The proposed inaugural season was abandoned due to the Coronavirus pandemic. It was eventually launched in July 2021 for the 2021-22 season with some amends to the list of participating teams.
