2000–01 Pirveli Liga
2000–01 Pirveli Liga was the 12th season of the second-tier football in Georgia.
History
[edit]Following new regulations announced by the Football Federation, the number of team represented in this league sustained almost a four-time reduction. The format of the tournament also underwent significant changes. Twelve teams played 22 matches each and later, on the 2nd stage, formed Championship and Relegation groups based on the league standings. Milani was the only club among them to make a debut in the 2nd division this season.[1]
The season started on 12 September 2000 and ended on 22 May 2001 with a play-off game held on 27 May.[2] Eventually, Guria and Metallurgi Zestafoni gained automatic promotion to the Umaglesi Liga followed by Samgurali who prevailed over Dila in the play-offs.[3]
