The 2024–25 Liga 4 will be the inaugural season of the Liga 4, which is a new league established by PSSI as the fourth division under the current league structure, and the only amateur league football competition in Indonesia.[1][2] The competition will be organised by the PSSI Provincial Association for the provincial phase and the PSSI for the national phase.
Changes from 2023–24 season
PSSI has restructured Liga 3 into two new tiers: Liga Nusantara (third-tier) and Liga 4 (fourth-tier), starting in the 2024–25 season. Liga Nusantara will be a professional competition with 16 teams, including 10 clubs from the 2023–24 Liga 3 national phase third round that did not secure promotion. Teams eliminated before the 2023–24 Liga 3 national phase third round will compete in Liga 4, which remains an amateur-level competition.
