"Meyer and Haeder disapprove of the gradual method adopted by the DFB"
In a significant development, the "Promotion Reform 2025" initiative has gained three more clubs since September 15th. The growing movement, which aims to eliminate the injustice in the promotion system for the East, North, and Bayern divisions, now includes a total of 47 clubs.
Notable supporters of the initiative include Robin Lenk, Matthias Heidrich, Ralph Grillitsch, Felix Koppe, Niklas Müller, Sebastian Harms, and Paul Hein, among others. Paul Hein, Business Manager of Chemnitzer FC, and Daniel Meyer, Sports Director of Hallescher FC, have been vocal advocates for the cause, demanding fairness in the promotion system.
The initiative is particularly concerned with the current rotating system in the Regionalliga Nordost, West, and Southwest divisions, which differs from the fixed promotion spots in the other two divisions. The case of "Champions must be promoted" has entered the next round, with the initiative growing and gaining support from clubs like SSV Ulm and Rot Weiss Ahlen.
Rot Weiss Ahlen, the second fifth division club and the first club from the Westphalia Oberliga, has recently joined the initiative. The club's decision to join comes as the DFB leadership has joined the debate on Regionalliga reform, offering a mediation role in the dispute.
However, the progress of the "Champions must be promoted" case has been slow, according to Tommy Haeder and Daniel Meyer. They have criticized the DFB for low prioritization of the issue, with the focus of many clubs shifting towards sports rather than the big goal of a fair promotion regulation.
The "Promotion Reform 2025" initiative has been the subject of a debate in the DFB, with various videos discussing the issue. The game between Chemnitzer FC and Rot-Weiß Oberhausen, although a "non-promotion game," was not about sports but about the fair promotion regulation. The game took place one day before Chemnitzer FC appeared in the state cup.
The DFB has been criticized for its handling of the issue, with many functionaries and clubs calling for change. The "Promotion Reform 2025" initiative is a significant step towards achieving fairness in the promotion system and ensuring that the champions are indeed promoted.
