League changes

With 5 teams being relegated down from Division 3, the Khuzestan Football Association announced that the league will be expanded from 14 to 16 teams in an effort to accommodate the relegated teams. Since only 1 team is promoted every year to Division 3, the 5 relegated teams would have created an unbalanced league under the 14 team system.[1]
