Segunda Federación, previously calledSegunda RFEF, also officially known asSegunda B,[1] is the fourth tier of theSpanish football league system containing 90 teams divided into five groups. It is administered by theRoyal Spanish Football Federation. It is the second tier outside the top two professional leagues, thePrimera División (also known asLa Liga) andSegunda División (also known asLa Liga 2), being behindPrimera Federación and aboveTercera Federación. The division also includes thereserve teams of a number of La Liga and La Liga 2 teams.
On 6 May 2020, the RFEF announced the creation of a new, two-group, 40-team third division calledPrimera División RFEF, which resulted in the former third division,Segunda División B, dropping down a level and becomingSegunda División RFEF; the changes were made effective for the 2021–22 campaign.[2][3]
In July 2022, the division was renamedSegunda Federación.[4]
Segunda Federación features 90 teams divided into 5 groups of 18. The champions of each group achieve automatic promotion toPrimera Federación, while the other top four teams qualify for a play-off round, where five of the 20 teams qualified also achieve promotion. Howeverreserve teams are only eligible for promotion to the Primera Federación if their senior team is in one division above it. The bottom five teams in each group are relegated to theTercera Federación. Also, the four worst 13th-placed teams enter into relegation play-offs to determine the two teams to be relegated.
Each team of Segunda Federación can have 22 players in their roster, with these two limitations:
