Dhaka Football League (Bengali: ঢাকা ফুটবল লিগ) is Bangladesh's semi-professional football league. It includes the third-tier, Senior Division, the fourth-tier, Second Division and the fifth-tier, Third Division. The league is run by Dhaka Metropolitan Football League Committee (DMFLC) under the supervision of Bangladesh Football Federation (BFF). Prior to the introduction of the professional league in 2007, the regional league consisted of the country's top-three tiers, and until 2004, the winners of the top-tier were given entry to the Asian Club Championship (now AFC Champions League Elite). The top-two finishing clubs of the Senior Division are promoted to the professional league through the second-tier, the Bangladesh Championship League, while the bottom two teams of the Third Division are relegated to the amateur sixth-tier, the Pioneer Football League.
