English term or phrase: Polish Fourth League (?)
My questions concerns Polish professional footbal league. In Poland there is Ekstraklasa (top league) and then I Liga, II Liga, III Liga, IV Liga, maybe even V Liga.
I woder what is the correct English equivalent for IV Liga. Is it 4. Division or can I translate it as "the Polish Fourth League"?

disagree  Tony M: I don't know where you're getting "a play-off" from, but of all the possible options, "fourth place league" simply wouldn't be idiomatic in EN

neutral  petrolhead: Agree with Tony. A play-off/play-offs are matches needed to decide which team gets promoted/relegated or which team gets a particular place in a table.
