The Lower Rhine Regional Football League is the second highest division of the FVN and, following the dissolution of the NRW League, will be at the sixth highest level of the German league system from the 2012/13 season .
history
The Landesliga Niederrhein was founded in the 1947/48 season in initially three seasons (1949–1952 two seasons) as the highest amateur league at the time for the Niederrhein Football Association. Founding members were u. a. Rot-Weiss Essen , TuRU Düsseldorf , Duisburger SpV , Sterkrade 06/07 , Meidericher SV , Union Krefeld , VfL Benrath and the Rheydter Spielverein . When the Association League Niederrhein was founded in 1956, the Landesliga was initially the second-highest, and after the Oberliga Nordrhein was founded in 1978 it was only the third-highest division on the Lower Rhine. Since the dissolution of the Oberliga Nordrhein in favor of the NRW-Liga in 2008, the Landesliga is again the second highest division.
In the German league system, the regional league was initially second class below the Oberliga West and has since slipped several times through the introduction of higher divisions ( 2nd Oberliga West 1949, Verbandsliga Niederrhein 1956, Oberliga Nordrhein 1978, Regionalliga West 1994 and most recently 3rd League 2008) up to the seventh level of the league system. Since the league structure reform in 2012 and the associated dissolution of the North Rhine-Westphalia League, the Lower Rhine regional league has once again represented the sixth league level in the football league system.
mode
The Landesliga Niederrhein consists of two squadrons with a nominal strength of 18 teams each. The exact division of the squadrons is made every year according to geographical aspects.
There is no final between the season winners, the champions of each season are promoted to the Oberliga Niederrhein, unless a team from the same club is already playing in this division. In this case, as well as in the case of renouncing promotion or in the event of a lack of economic performance, the next best placed, eligible for promotion and approved team of the respective relay moves up. The teams placed on the table ranks 14 and lower in each season are relegated to the district league. As a rule, only the champions rise from the district league to the state league.
