| Pos. | Team | Points | Touchdowns |Wiesbaden Phantoms, a force to be reckoned with in German football, wrapped up a phenomenal season, overpowering Rüsselsheim Crusaders 36-0 to secure direct promotion to GFL2. With an unblemished record of 10 win streaks, the Phantoms propagated an air of dominance throughout the Regional League playoffs and remained undefeated on their march to the championship.
Crushing the Competition
The Phantoms demonstrated their ambition early in the season. Under the guidance of Head Coach David Gordon, they showcased a formidable defense and an efficient offense, which was exemplified in their concluding game against Rüsselsheim. The game kicked off with Kicker Leon Amberg's successful field goal, putting the Phantoms ahead 3-0. A stunning touchdown pass from Quarterback AJ Springer to Finn Burschyk and an exhilarating punt return touchdown from Benji Barnes elongated the Phantoms' lead before halftime.
In the second half, the Phantoms continued their impressive performance. A scintillating kick-off return for a touchdown by David Tibo increased their lead to 26-0, and the Phantoms' defense denied any opportunities to the Crusaders, while Alexander Werner and Leon Amberg affirmed the final score at 36-0.

The Phantoms' remarkable performance meant more than just winning the championship title. They not only secured a spot in the GFL2 but also nabbed direct promotion, bypassing the need for playoffs. This achievement caps off an unparalleled season for the Phantoms, who will embark on the new chapter of their journey in the Bundesliga without having to vie for the position again. The Mainz Golden Eagles, who finished second with a 8-2 record, and the somewhat surprising third-placed GFL relegated Marburg Mercenaries will compete in the Regional League again next year. The Phantoms' triumph is a just recognition of their diligent work and a season replete with unforgettable moments that will go down in the annals of the club's history.
