The Westfalenliga (until 2008 Verbandsliga Westfalen ) has been the second highest division of the Westphalian football and athletics association in men's football and the sixth highest in the German league system since the 2012/13 season . The reigning champions of the Westphalia League are TSV Victoria Clarholz and SG Finnentrop / Bamenohl .
mode
The Westfalenliga consists of two relays with a nominal strength of 16 teams each. As a rule, teams from Münsterland and East Westphalia play in season 1 , while teams from the Ruhr area , Sauerland and Siegerland play in season 2 . The exact division of the two seasons is carried out every year according to geographical criteria. It happens that teams from the middle of Westphalia have to change the relay so that a uniform relay strength is guaranteed.
There is no final between the season winners, the champions of each season are promoted to the Oberliga Westfalen , unless a team from the same club is already playing in this division. In this case (also in the case of renouncing promotion) the next placed, ready for promotion and approved team of the respective relay moves up. The three bottom of the table of each season descend into the Landesliga Westfalen, which is divided into four seasons .

history
The Westphalia League was founded in 1956/57 as the third-class Association League Westphalia and has always been held in two seasons since then. It was founded in order to create a strong game level between the then existing 2nd Oberliga West and the Landesliga Westfalen, which is still held in five seasons below. Even after the establishment of the Bundesliga in 1963/64 and the introduction of the 2nd Bundesliga in 1974/75, the Association League Westphalia remained unchanged as the third highest division in the German league system.

Since the division was also the top division in the Football and Athletics Association of Westphalia until 1977/78, the two season winners also played finals for the title of Westphalia champion. The title win then entitled to participate in the promotion round to the next higher league. This was the 2. Oberliga West until 1962/63, the Regionalliga West between 1963/64 and 1973/74 and the 2. Bundesliga from 1974/75.
It was only with the introduction of the superior Oberliga Westfalen in the 1978/79 season that the Association League Westphalia was downgraded to the fourth level of the league pyramid. The title of Westphalia champion was henceforth awarded to the master of the Oberliga Westfalen. Therefore, the final between the two season winners was omitted; since then they have been promoted directly to the Oberliga Westfalen. If there were vacancies there due to the relegation situation from higher leagues, the two runners-up could possibly also be promoted.
After the reintroduction of the regional league in 1994/95, initially still in the fifth division, since 2008/09, after the establishment of the third division , the division has only been the sixth highest division in the German league system.
As part of the amalgamation of the Oberliga Nordrhein and Oberliga Westfalen to form the NRW League in the 2008/09 season, the division was renamed the Westfalenliga and it was again the highest league of the Westphalia Football and Athletics Association. However, the final of the two season winners for the title of Westphalia champion was not reintroduced.
In the course of the regional league reform in 2012, the Westfalenliga is now only the second highest Westphalian league again due to the reintroduction of the Oberliga Westfalen.
