DIVISION 3 (3rd level) 1952/53
From this season on the whole country was incorporated in the promotion and
relegation to and from division 3. Thus, below can be seen the utmost northern
division 3 leagues in Sweden. Before this season the winners of those groups
weren't promoted, probably because of travelcosts and such matters.
Furthermore, from 1953/54 the 3rd level in Sweden is heavily expanded. This
means that division 3 from 1953/54 will consist of 9 groups of 10 teams each,
i.e. 90 teams instead of 6x10 teams as the 1952/53 season. The reason is that it
was decided that each 2nd level group should have three 3rd level groups below
it.
