For precise promotion rules, it is recommended to consult the Lower Rhine Football Association (Fußballverband Niederrhein - FVN) official regulations for youth leagues 2024/25 or the official DFB youth competition handbook or announcements for the 2024–25 season.

The new rule introduced in junior football from August 1st, replacing the five-minute time penalty against a repeatedly rule-breaking young player with yellow/red cards, is sure to add an extra layer of excitement to the games. The automatic suspension for the next match, which is usual for seniors, does not apply under the new rule.
