History

In 1968, along with the territorial reorganization of the country,{{cite web|url=https://adevarul.ro/cultura/istorie/16-februarie-1968-controversele-ultimei-reorganizari-administrativ-teritoriale-1_511f9c0300f5182b856a90cc/index.html|title=Controversele ultimei reorganizări administrativ-teritoriale|language=ro|trans-title=Controversies of the last administrative-territorial reorganization|publisher=adevarul.ro|date=16 February 2013|access-date=3 May 2020|archive-date=2 August 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190802201454/https://adevarul.ro/cultura/istorie/16-februarie-1968-controversele-ultimei-reorganizari-administrativ-teritoriale-1_511f9c0300f5182b856a90cc/index.html|url-status=live}} but also due to the large number of requests, FRF proposes a competitive system in which each county has its own football championship, which will activate the former teams in the regional championship as well as the racing and town championship teams from the previous edition.

Over time, the main football competition in Covasna County has been given different names, such as: Campionatul Județean I (County Championship I) between 1968 and 1993, Divizia C between 1993 and 1997, Divizia D between 1997 and 2005 and Liga IV from 2006.

Promotion

The champions of each county association play one another in a play-off to promote to the Liga III. Geographical criteria are taken into consideration when the play-offs are drawn. In total there are 41 county champions plus the Bucharest municipal champion.
