Source-derived summary

The 2013 3. deild karla (English: Men's Third Division) was the 32nd season of fourth-tier football in Iceland. Ten teams contested the league, which as of 2013 is no longer the lowest division in Iceland following the restructuring of the league pyramid. The fixtures for the 2013 campaign were released by the KSÍ on 10 November 2012; play began on 17 May and concluded on 14 September.

Previous season

The previous season the division was the lowest one in Iceland, but starting this season the 4. deild will be beneath the 3. deild. As a result, the 30 teams competing in the division last season were not just competing for two promotion places to 2. deild, but also for eight offered places in the 2013 season of the 3. deild.

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The phrase “football league season” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.

Evidence profile

Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Apr 16, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q16835233. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2013 and 2012.

Critical limits

A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Use the entry as an orientation point, then follow its citations and revision history. Names, dates and institutional relationships should be checked against the original record.
