The Bulgarian V Football Group ((ブルガリア語:"В" Футболна Група)), commonly referred to as "V Group" ((ブルガリア語:"В" Група)) is the third level of the Bulgarian football league system. V Group operates on a system of promotion and relegation with the second and the fourth tier of the Bulgarian football league pyramid – respectively being B Group and the A Oblast Groups. Currently V Group consists of four divisions that are formed by separating the country into four regions: ''North-West'', ''South-West'', ''North-East'' and ''South-East''. The divisions run in parallel during the season, but since the number of teams in each division may vary, the number of rounds in each of them may vary. Each team must play at least two times against every other team on a home-away basis. The V Group was created in 1950, along with the second level. It is administered by the Bulgarian Football Union, and the clubs in it have an amateur status. Nowadays, only the top teams of each division have the right to participate in the Bulgarian Cup tournament, but since 1995 the clubs in the group can participate in the Cup of Bulgarian Amateur Football League competition. ==Overview== The V Group was created in 1950 as the third level of the Bulgarian football league system, along with the second tier in the same pyramid - B Group. The name is derived from the fact that "V" ((ブルガリア語:"В")) is the third letter of the Cyrillic alphabet so the third level of the football pyramid is named after the third letter of the alphabet (and A Group and B Group are respectively the first and the second). While the first two levels in the football pyramid - (A Group) and (B Group) - are professional, the third level is of amateur status and does not require professional licensing for the team. The amateur status of the third tier has resulted in the level being officially named ''V Amateur Football Group'' (or similar) on several occasions throughout the years, so V Group is commonly abbreviated "V AFG". The V AFG has historically been divided into four different groups running in simultaneously (''North-West V AFG'', ''South-West V AFG'', ''North-East V AFG'' and ''South-East V AFG''). Each group is managed by a different administrative football zone center - Sofia for ''South-West'', Plovdiv for ''South-East'', Varna for ''North-East'', and Veliko Tarnovo for ''North-West''. There are two domestic cups, in which every club from the ''V AFG'' is competing in - the Bulgarian Cup and the Cup of Bulgarian Amateur Football League. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Bulgarian V AFG」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
