State football leagues in India represent the top state-level of the Indian football league system. There are currently a total of 36 state associations affiliated with the national governing body, the All India Football Federation.[1]
Most of the state associations organise and have own affiliated football competitions in their respective states. The state leagues operate as a system of promotion and relegation with 3rd Division League (men's), IWL 2nd Division (women's), and lower regional leagues. Clubs of top national leagues (Indian Super League and I-League) also participate in their respective state leagues, most often with youth or reserve teams.[2][3]
