The 2013 3. deild karla (English: Men's Third Division) was the 32nd season of fourth-tier football in Iceland. Ten teams contested the league, which as of 2013 is no longer the lowest division in Iceland following the restructuring of the league pyramid. The fixtures for the 2013 campaign were released by the KSÍ on 10 November 2012; [1] play began on 17 May and concluded on 14 September. [2]

3. deild karla is a football league in Iceland. It is the fourth level, and second-lowest division, in the Icelandic football league system. Current champions are Kári. The league was reformed into a 10-team double round-robin tournament for the 2013 season, with the introduction of the newly established 5th level of the Icelandic football league system, 4. deild karla.

Football is the most popular sport in Iceland. Iceland hosted the U-18 European Championship in 1997, but an Icelandic national team has qualified for the final competition of a major tournament only four times—twice by the women's national team at UEFA Women's Euro in 2009 and 2013, and twice by the men's team at UEFA Euro 2016 and the 2018 FIFA World Cup. The only Iceland teams to advance past the group stage at a major tournament are the women in 2013 and the men in 2016.

The Icelandic football league system is a series of interconnected leagues for club football in Iceland. As of 2013 a fifth level was added to the previous men's format of four levels. As of 2018 there are 77 participating men's teams and 28 women's teams in the football league.

Previous season

The previous season the division was the lowest one in Iceland, but starting this season the 4. deild will be beneath the 3. deild. As a result, the 30 teams competing in the division last season were not just competing for two promotion places to 2. deild, but also for eight offered places in the 2013 season of the 3. deild. As a result, the remaining 20 teams were "relegated" to the new 4. deild for the 2013 season, although a couple of teams quit and a few new ones joined, as had always been the case with the 3. deild when it was the lowest division in Iceland.

2. deild karla is a football league in Iceland. It is the third division in the Icelandic football league system. The current champions are Njarðvík, who won their 2nd title in 2017.

Teams

The league was contested by ten clubs, eight of which played in the division during the 2012 season. There are two new clubs from the previous campaign, with eight remaining of the 30 teams that competed last year, with those not mentioned below either competing in the new 4. deild or not competing this season.

Knattspyrnufélag Fjarðabyggðar (KFF) is an Icelandic football club from the town of Fjarðabyggð located on the east coast of Iceland. The club was founded in 2001 with a merger of three local clubs, Íþróttafélagið Þróttur Neskaupstað, Ungmennafélagið Austri Eskifirði and Ungmennafélagið Valur Reyðarfirði. The next year, for the first time, Fjarðabyggð sent a women's team to play at league level. In 2010 Ungmennafélagið Súlan Stöðvarfirði came into the merger.

Knattspyrnufélag Rangæinga is an Icelandic football club from the towns of Hella and Hvolsvöllur, in Rangárvallasýsla. The club represents a united team for Rangárþing. Prior to KFR's foundation the football clubs in the two towns in Rangárþing, Hekla from Hella and Baldur from Hvolsvöllur occasionally took part in the Icelandic leagues. In the years prior to KFR's foundation the clubs often fielded a merged team, calling themselves Hekla/Baldur or HB. KFR was the next step.

The 2012 2. deild karla was the 47th season of third-tier football in Iceland. The league, which was contested by 12 clubs from across Iceland, began on 11 May 2012 and ended on 22 September 2012.
