History

When in 1948 the three Leagues running Division 3 (italian Serie C) had to be reorganized due to ever growing regional team joining, FIGC decided not to relegate the exceeding teams to regional championships. Choosed just winners and few runner-ups from the 36 Serie C championships to be added to the new third division setted up into 4 championships. The rest of the teams attended the new Promozione Interregionale which changed name in 1952 into Quarta Serie (Division 4) and then in 1959 into Serie D. From 1959 each player attending the Serie D championships had to opt for the semi-professional status signing a special issued status attribution form. Serie D had to be re-organized in 1981 when championships had to be reduced so that league name changed too into the new name Interregionale and players lost semi-pro status because converted to amateurs. From 1992 to 1999 had the name changed into Campionato Nazionale Dilettanti before coming back to the actual Serie D name.

Structure

Promotions

Only the first-placed team from each division is promoted to Serie C2 each year, and replaces one of the 9 teams from Serie C2 that is relegated down to Serie D. Serie C is the name of the third and fourth highest football leagues in Italy. ...

Inevitably each year, one or more Serie C2 teams fail to meet the regulatory or financial requirements to remain in the league. These vacancies are usually announced in the summer rest period as the new season is being organized. If a newly promoted Serie D team fails to meet the requirements, the Serie C2 league asks the second-placed team in that Serie D team's division to fill the vacancy. Failing that, even the third-placed team may fill the vacancy, and so on.

On the other hand, if a Serie C2 vacancy is created by the failure of an existing Serie C2 team (one that was neither promoted nor relegated), by the failure of a Serie C1 team newly relegated to Serie C2, or by the fact that a Serie C2 team was needed to fill a vacancy created in Serie C1, the first such vacancy is usually filled by the winner of the Serie D playoffs. Any second vacancy is filled by the runner-up in the playoffs. Serie C is the name of the third and fourth highest football leagues in Italy. ...

Playoffs are held after the regular season is over and involve teams placed second through fifth in each division. The first two rounds are single game elimination matches. In round one, for each division, the fifth-placed team plays at the home of the second-placed team, and the fourth-placed team plays at the home of the third-placed team. Tie games are extended into extra time and may be settled by penalty kicks. Round 2 matches the two winners at the home of the higher-classifed team. At the end of round 2, one team from each division survives. The nine winners are grouped into 3 groups of three and play each team in their own group once (one at home and one away). The three group winners and best second-placed team qualify for the play-off semi-finals. The semi-finals are a two-legged tie, with the winners qualifying for a one-game final match played at a neutral site. There is no guarantee that the two finalists will be promoted to Serie C2, as any promotion depends on a vacancy being created in Serie C2.

Relegations

Four teams from each division are relegated each year to Eccellenza, a regional amateur league below Serie D. The 2 bottom teams (17th and 18th) are relegated directly, while teams ranked 13th to 16th play a two-legged playout (13 vs 16, and 14 vs 15). If the two teams finish in an aggregate tie, the higher classified team is considered the winner. The two losers of the playout are relegated to Eccellenza, while the two winners remain in Serie D. In total, 36 teams are relegated to Eccellenza. Eccellenza (Italian for excellence) is the sixth level of Italian football (soccer). ... Eccellenza (Italian for excellence) is the sixth level of Italian football (soccer). ...

If at the end of the regular season ties exist between the 12th and 13th-placed teams, or between the 16th and 17th-placed teams, single-game tie-breakers are held at neutral sites before any play-out games are played. The outcome will determine which team remains in Serie D and which team must play in the play-outs in the first case, and which team plays in the play-outs and which is directly relegated in the latter case.

Scudetto Dilettanti

Each year, after the end of the regular season, the winners of the nine Serie D divisions qualify for a championship tournament in order to assign the so-called Scudetto Dilettanti (amateur champions' title).

Round one divides the nine teams into three groups of three teams each where each team plays a single game against each of its other two opponents. The three group winners and best second-placed team advance to the semifinals.

The first scudetto dilettanti was assigned in 1952-1953, when the Serie D was still called IV Serie (fourth division). Its assignation was suspended from 1958-1959 to 1991-1992.
