HOW IS THE STRUCTURE OF THE MEISTRILIIGA?

Estonia is a country in Northern Europe that has low temperatures in the wintertime so that the football championship often begins in March and finishes in November. There are 10 clubs taking part in the Meistriliiga. They play each other four times in the league.

At the end of the season, the last-ranked team is relegated to the Esiliiga (Estonia Second Division), and the second last-ranked team plays a two-legged play-off to keep a place in the Meistriliiga next season. Whilst, the winning team qualifies for the preliminary round of the UEFA Champions League, and the runner-up of the competition also has a spot for the Europa Conference League first qualifying round.
