2018–19 Liga II (women's football)

The 2018–19 Liga II was the 6th season, since its reintroduction in 2013, of the second level women's football league of the Romanian football league system. 16 teams divided in 2 series played in the competition that consisted of a double round-robin lasting 14 stages, totaling 112 matches.[1] In addition, a two-legged play-off was played to determine one more promoted team at the end of the season, since CFR Timișoara withdrew from Liga I and vacated a place.

Team changes

Excluded and spared teams

Armonia Dolhești was disbanded in the summer of 2018, so Viitorul Reghin (8th place in 2017–18 Liga II, Seria I) was spared from relegation.

Luceafărul Filiași took over Real Craiova's spot after its relegation from 2017–18 Liga I, although some viewed it as just a name change.[6] The move was possible by disaffiliating the old Real Craiova club[7] and transferring the senior team components to Luceafărul Filiași Sport School, along with their club president, local politician Fănel Văduva.[8] As such, the first squad was able to continue in Liga II, as they relegated at the end of the 2017–18 Liga I, thus they were not required to start in Liga III as it happens with new teams. Consequently, the spot of Real 2 Craiova, which was took over by Luceafărul 2 Filiași was transferred to Liga III, as two teams from the same club cannot play in the same league.
