Английская Википедия:2022–23 Cymru Premier
Шаблон:Infobox football league season The 2022–23 Cymru Premier (Шаблон:Lang-cy) (known as the JD Cymru Premier for sponsorship reasons) was the 31st season of the Cymru Premier (formally known as the Welsh Premier League), the highest football league within Wales since its establishment in 1992.
The winners qualify for the 2023–24 UEFA Champions League first qualifying round. The runners-up, the 2022–23 Welsh Cup winners (or the 3rd-placed team if the Welsh Cup winners finish in the top two), and the play-off winners qualify for the 2023–24 UEFA Europa Conference League first qualifying round.
The New Saints were the defending champions, and retained the title on 17 March 2023 after a 0–0 draw against Connah's Quay Nomads.[1]
Teams
Twelve teams contest the league – the top ten teams from the previous season, and one team each promoted from the second tier leagues, the Cymru North and Cymru South.
The two bottom placed teams from the 2021–22 season, Cefn Druids[2] and Barry Town United,[3] were relegated to the Cymru North and the Cymru South respectively for the 2022–23 season.
Airbus UK Broughton, winners of the 2021–22 Cymru North were promoted to the league.
Due to 2021–22 Cymru South champions Llantwit Major's failure to achieve a tier one licence, runners-up Pontypridd Town were promoted in their place.[3] In June 2022, Pontypridd Town changed their name to Pontypridd United.

Europa Conference League play-offs
Teams placed 3rd-7th enter one-off play-off matches for the third spot in the Europa Conference League first qualifying round. One of the spots is vacated if the Welsh Cup winners finish 7th or higher, with the 3rd-placed team qualifying automatically if the Welsh Cup winners finish in the top two. The higher-placed team gains home advantage.
Bala Town, Cardiff Metropolitan University, Haverfordwest County, Newtown, and Penybont qualified for the play-offs. Since the 2022–23 Welsh Cup winners, The New Saints, qualified for the Champions League first qualifying round based on league position, Penybont's play-off spot was vacated and they directly qualified for the Europa Conference League as the 3rd-placed team.
