Liga Dalet (Hebrew: ליגה ד', lit.
Liga Dalet first came into existence in 1958 as a league added beneath Liga Gimel at the bottom of the Israeli football league system to accommodate the surplus number of teams from Liga Gimel.
However, it operated for only one season because third tier Liga Bet was expanded to include 64 clubs.
The top club of each division was usually promoted to Liga Gimel, with further clubs promoted in order to complete vacancies in the league above.
Liga Dalet clubs participated in the State Cup, entering in the first round.
