2002–03 Divizia C

Divizia C
Season2002–03

The 2002–03 Divizia C season was the 47th season of Divizia C, the third tier of the Romanian football league system.[1][2]

The format was maintained with eight series of sixteen teams each, with each series played in a double round-robin format. At the end of the season, twenty teams were promoted to Divizia B — the top two teams from each Divizia C series, as well as the four best third-placed teams — as the second tier was expanded into three groups of 16 teams each.

At the same time, the bottom three teams from each series, along with the four lowest-ranked 13th-placed teams, twenty-eight teams in total, were relegated and replaced by the forty-two county winners, as Divizia C was reorganized into nine groups of fourteen teams each.[2]
