Oberliga (football)

Encyclopedia : O : OB : OBE : Oberliga (football)



 

The Oberliga is currently the name of the fourth tier of the German football leagues.

Oberliga champions are usually promoted to Regionalliga which is directly below the Second Bundesliga. The Oberliga Nordost has two divisions ("Süd" and "Nord"). The two champions of the divisions used to have a play-off consisting of two legs, the winner being promoted to the Regionalliga, but this has been suspended at least for the 2005/06 and 2006/7 seasons. In these seasons, both champions are promoted to the Regionalliga.

If the champion of an Oberliga is the B-team of a club which already has a team in the Regionalliga, or which has a team which will be relegated to the Regionalliga, the B-team cannot be promoted, and the next highest qualified team will be promoted instead.

There are 9 "Oberligen", based on states and regions of Germany.
