2013–14 Liga III
football league season
The 2013–14 Liga III was the 58th season of Liga III, the third tier of the Romanian football league system. The season began on 30 August 2013 and concluded on 6 June 2014.
The format was changed to 72 teams divided into six geographically based series of twelve teams each. Following a 22-match double round-robin regular season, the top six teams in each series qualified for the play-off, while the bottom six entered the play-out. Both phases were contested in a double round-robin format over ten additional matches, with teams retaining only the points earned against the other teams in their respective play-off or play-out series during the regular season. The winners of the six play-off series were promoted to Liga II, while the bottom three teams in each play-out series, together with the lowest-ranked 9th-placed team overall, were relegated to Liga IV.
Team changes
Another six teams from Liga II were dissolved or withdrew to lower divisions, including Astra II, Unirea Alba Iulia, Voința Sibiu, Politehnica Timișoara, and Olt Slatina.
Other changes
The promoted teams Negri, Mureșul Luduș and Corbeanca withdrew.
The promoted side Gloria Cornești merged with CS Popești-Leordeni to form Gloria Popești-Leordeni.
FC Pojorâta was renamed Bucovina Pojorâta.
CSO Cugir was renamed Metalurgistul Cugir 1939.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “2013–14 Liga III” as football league season. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as football league season. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
Vocabulary and entity names are the principal evidence signals here, because they determine the precision of every later search. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jun 9, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q15924171. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2013, 2014 and 1939.
Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
