History[edit]
The K5 League is an amateur football league under the KFA, which has been in operation since the 2019 season. The idea of creating a leagure for amateur level football was first conceived in December 2015.[2] Originally, it was called the Division 5 League, but it was changed to the current name by rebranding the amateur-level Division Leagues to the K5, K6, and K7 leagues, respectively. The K5 League is the top league in amateur competition, which is organized into eleven regional leagues, each of which consists of six clubs, except for the Gwangju/Jeollanam-do region which has seven.[3]
Since 2020, the K5 League has been granted Korean FA Cup participation rights to the winner of each of the regional leagues of the previous season.[4][5]
