Second Division

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In sport, the Second Division is usually the second highest division of a league, and will often have promotion and relegation with divisions above and below. Following the rise of Premier League style competitions, many leagues known as the Second Division have fallen to a lower tier in countries' football league system.

Second Division may also refer to:

• 2nd Division, various military divisions
• Second Division, a grade awarded to school and college students in India that is higher than Third Division but lower than First Division.
