The Primera Nacional Femenina de Fútbol, known as Segunda División between 2011 and 2019, is the third level of league competition for Spanish women's football. It is the female equivalent of the men's Primera División RFEF and is run by the Real Federación Española de Fútbol.

History

The league was created in 2001, with the inception of the new Superliga Femenina, composed by only group instead of the four of the previous seasons.

Since 2011, teams were divided in seven groups by geographical criteria.

The league was renamed as the Primera Nacional de Fútbol in 2019 after the RFEF renamed the new division between it and the first tier as Segunda División Pro, after initially naming it Primera División B.

In early 2022, it was confirmed that the league structure would be altered again, after only three seasons: the existing Primera División would be a standalone professional league of 16 teams, the existing Segunda División Pro would become a single nationwide 16-team division known as the Primera División RFEF, a third tier of 32 teams (two regionalised 16-team groups, the same as the existing second tier) would be created as the Segunda División RFEF, and a fourth tier of 96 teams (six regionalised 16-team groups) would be created as the Tercera División RFEF, replacing the existing Primera Nacional division. These levels would be administered by the RFEF and more closely resemble the men's post-2021 structure, albeit only one professional league and six fourth-tier groups rather than five.[1]

This table shows the group winners and the promoted teams.[2]
