Bezirksoberliga Unterfranken

The Bezirksoberliga Unterfranken is currently the 7th tier of the German football league system. Until the introduction of the 3rd Liga in 2008 it was the 6th tier of the league system.

Overview

The Bezirksoberligas in Bavaria were introduced in 1988 to create a highest single-division playing level for each of the seven Bezirke.

Before the introduction of the Bezirksoberligas, the Bezirksliga was the level of play below the Landesliga. The Bezirksliga Unterfranken-Gruppe 1 and Unterfranken-Gruppe 2 fed the Landesliga Bayern-Nord as they now feed the Bezirksoberliga Unterfranken.

The winner of the Bezirksoberliga Unterfranken, like the winner of the Bezirksoberliga Oberfranken, is directly promoted to the Landesliga Bayern-Nord. The two second placed teams out of those leagues play-off for another promotion spot. The winner goes to Landesliga, the loser faces the 15th placed team out of the Landesliga for the last spot there.However, in some years additional promotion places are available in the Landesliga.

The three bottom teams of the Bezirksoberliga are relegated to the Bezirksliga, the team just above those faces a play-off against the second placed Bezirksliga teams.
