Venues of the Gauliga Niedersachsen 1940/41 (red = group north; blue = group south)
The Gauliga Niedersachsen 1940/41 was the eighth season of the Gauliga Niedersachsen of the German Football Association . The Lower Saxony Gauliga was again divided into two groups of six teams each this season. The winners of both groups then met in two finals. Hannover 96 prevailed in these and was thus Lower Saxony's Gaumeister for the third time. Hanover qualified for the German football championship 1940/41 , in which they reached second place in a group with Schalke 04 and Borussia Fulda , which, however, was not enough to advance.
