The Thuringian Football Association e. V. (TFV) is the umbrella organization of all 1,056 football clubs in Thuringia with 97,989 members and 2,937 teams. The TFV is one of the 21 regional associations of the DFB and a member of the Northeast German Football Association .
The association was founded on March 1st, 1990 in Bad Blankenburg . The first day of the association took place on June 9, 1990 in Bad Blankenburg. The seat of the association is the state capital Erfurt . The association is currently led by President Wolfhardt Tomaschewski .
Association structure
Since the association's structural reform in 2012, the TFV has been divided into nine district football committees (KFA). Until then, the association was divided into three soccer districts (West, East and South Thuringia), which in turn were divided into a total of 21 soccer districts.
The nine district football committees:
- KFA Eichsfeld-Unstrut-Hainich
- KFA North Thuringia
- KFA Erfurt-Sömmerda
- KFA West Thuringia
- KFA Rhön-Rennsteig
- KFA Central Thuringia
- KFA Jena-Saale-Orla
- KFA East Thuringia
- KFA South Thuringia
League structure
The TFV organizes the Thuringia League (also called Verbandsliga, officially Köstritzer -Liga Thuringia ) as the highest national league (6th level in the league hierarchy of German football ) and the state class (7th level) in the men's as well as in the women's area (5th or 6th level in the women's area). While the national class for men is divided into three seasons 1-3, there are only two seasons for women (west and east). The following divisions in the league hierarchy are organized by the nine district football committees. The top division in the men's division is the regional league. From the 2012/13 season, this division replaced the regional class that was only introduced in 2010/11. This is followed by the district league with up to three seasons as well as the 1st and 2nd district class with up to three seasons.
Cup competitions
- Men: Köstritzer State Cup (men); PVP-Landespokal Thuringia (A-Juniors, B-Juniors, C-Juniors)
- Women: Landespokal Thuringia (women)
The winners of these competitions are each qualified for the DFB Cup of the following season.
