From the 2004-05 Football League, 3 teams were relegated to the Second Division.[1] However, 2 teams were brought up to the Football League from the 2004-05 Second Division, these 2 teams being Salam Zgharta and Racing Beirut.[1] This was due to the Lebanese Football Federation announcing it will reduce the number of teams in the Football League from 11 to 10 for the 2005-06 Season leading to an increase in the number of teams in the Second Division.[1]
