Liga IV Suceava (known as Liga Inter Conti for sponsorship reasons) is one of the regional football divisions of Liga IV, the fourth tier of the Romanian football league system, for clubs based in Suceava County, and is organized by AJF Suceava – Asociația Județeană de Fotbal ().
It is contested by a variable number of teams, depending on the number of teams relegated from Liga III, the number of teams promoted from Liga V Suceava, and the teams that withdraw or enter the competition. The winner may or may not be promoted to Liga III, depending on the result of a promotion play-off contested against the winner of a neighboring county series.
History In 1968, following the new administrative and territorial reorganization of the country, each county established its own football championship, integrating teams from the former regional championships as well as those that had previously competed in town and raion-level competitions. The newly formed Suceava County Championship was placed under the authority of the Consiliul Județean pentru Educație Fizică și Sport () in Suceava County.
Since then, the structure and organization of Suceava’s main county competition, like those of other county championships, have undergone several changes. Between 1968 and 1992, the main county competition was known as the Campionatul Județean (County Championship). Starting in October 1991, the competition was organized by the AJF Suceava – Asociația Județeană de Fotbal (). It was renamed Divizia C – Faza Județeană () between 1992 and 1997, followed by Divizia D from 1997, and since 2006 it has been known as Liga IV, while from the 2015–16 season it was named Liga Inter Conti for sponsorship reasons.
Promotion The champions of each county association play against one another in a play-off to earn promotion to Liga III. Geographical criteria are taken into consideration when the play-offs are drawn. In total, there are 41 county champions plus the Bucharest municipal champion.
