National First Division
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
National First Division (NFD) is the second-highest league of South African club association football after the Premier Soccer League. From 2004 until 2007 it was sponsored by business magnate Tokyo Sexwale's Mvelaphanda Group and known as Mvela Golden League.
The restructured NFD is divided into two streams, one inland and another coastal - each of which consists of 8 teams. The winners of the two streams will play against each other in a 'final' at the end of the season - the victor of which will be promoted to the PSL.
The loser of the 'final' will play in a mini-tournament/play-offs against the two second-placed teams in each stream and the 15th-placed team on the PSL log. The winner of this tournament will also be automatically promoted to the top flight.
