Тhe 2017 Liga 3 (formerly Meore Liga) was the first season under its current name and 30th third-tier season in Georgia. It began on 19 March and ended on 24 November.[1]

Team changes

[edit]

After the 2016 season many teams changed their division. A total 56 of them were relegated from this division only, which reduced the number of participants from 64 to 20 within one season. This exodus resulted from the announced reorganization of the entire league system and a transitional status given to all domestic divisions before these changes could take effect in 2017.

League table

[edit]

The teams were initially divided equally into White and Red Groups. After a two-round tournament they formed Promotion and Relegation groups. The winner won automatic promotion to Erovnuli Liga 2,[2] while the teams in second and third places played against Liga 2 opponents in a two-legged tie.[3]

All teams of the drop-zone quartet participated in the second tier the previous year, therefore they suffered double relegation in successive seasons.
