Teams that finish in fourth place will continue the season in the second round in League B. The seeding of participants for the second round will depend on their first-round group standings.

The group winners and the best second-placed team (considering results against their groups' first and third-placed teams) will be promoted to the higher division.
Advancement to the Final Stage
The second qualifying round will take place at the beginning of 2025. Based on the League A competition, seven teams will join the Faroe Islands in the final stage.
