Conference North

The Conference North, now known as the National League North, is a semi-professional football league in England, sitting just below the fully professional Football League tiers. It features teams from northern England and the Midlands competing for promotion to higher divisions. The league operates on a system of promotion and relegation with neighboring leagues, fostering competitive balance. It serves as a key platform for clubs aiming to ascend the English football pyramid, offering a mixture of regional rivalries and developing local talent within an organized, regional structure.
