1. Liga Promotion 2012–13 FC Schaffhausen FC Schaffhausen FC FribourgYverdon-Sport FC 240 806 2013–14 The 2012–13 season of the 1. Liga Promotion was the initial season of this league, the 3rd division of Swiss Football and is the third level of the football hierarchy in Switzerland, behind the Super League and the Challenge League. The Championship had 16 teams and each team played 30 games. The champions of this division would be promoted and the last two teams would be relegated. Formation In the summer of 2012, the Swiss Football Association restructured their league system. The top tier, Super League, remained unchanged. The second tier, Challenge League, was reduced from 16 to 10 teams. A new division was introduced to become the new third highest tier. Initially introduced as the 1. Liga Promotion, two years later it would be renamed to Promotion League.

Liga was subsequently the fourth tier and renamed to 1. Liga Classic.

The new Promotion League would therefore serve as the semi-professional link to amateur football.6 May 2011 Die Dreiviertelfrage de Walliser Bote https://www.e-newspaperarchives.ch/?a=d&d=WAB20110506-01.2.18.2 The number of U-21 teams, the eldest youth teams of the Super League clubs, permitted in this division was limited to four (until 2022) and they were not eligible to promotion.
