1967–68 Divizia C
Third tier Romanian football league
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 1967–68 Divizia C was the 12th season of Liga III, the third tier of the Romanian football league system.[1]
The format was maintained with four series, each consisting of 14 teams. At the end of the season, the winners of each series were promoted to Divizia B, and the runners-up qualified for promotion/relegation play-offs against the 13th and 14th placed teams from the two series of the second division, while the bottom two teams from each series were relegated to the Regional Championship.
By topping their respective groups, Oțelul Galați, Dunărea Giurgiu, Electroputere Craiova, and Medicina Cluj secured promotion to 1968–69 Divizia B.[2][3]
