the top five levels each have one division. they are national leagues. this means clubs in these leagues play in the whole country. in level 6 and lower, the levels have more and more leagues at the same level. the lower levels are in a smaller location. many leagues have more than one division. at the lower levels the leagues do not always exist. in some places where a lot of people live, there are leagues more than twenty levels below the premier league. there are also leagues in different parts of the country which are not officially part of the system. this is because they do not have formal agreements with other leagues. however some county football associations accept these leagues exist. clubs from these leagues can join a league in the system. they usually need to have the right standard of play (they need to play football well enough) and have right facilities.
