The 2025–26 Liga 4 Central Sulawesi is the inaugural season of Liga 4 Central Sulawesi after the change in the structure of Indonesian football competition and serves as a qualifying round for the national phase of the 2025–26 Liga 4.[1] The competition is organised by the Central Sulawesi Provincial PSSI Association (Asprov PSSI Sulteng).

Background

The 2025–26 Liga 4 Central Sulawesi is the first season of the newly formed fourth-tier football league in Indonesia, replacing the previous regional Liga 3. Following a virtual meeting held via Zoom between the Asprov PSSI Central Sulawesi and club representatives, it was initially confirmed that 10 teams would participate, although the number later adjusted to 12 teams.[2] The competition serves as the qualifying path for Central Sulawesi clubs to advance to the national round of the Liga 4.

The tournament is held across multiple venues in Central Sulawesi, primarily centered in Palu as the provincial capital, with other regional stadiums hosting specific group matches to ensure wider local engagement.[3]
