The football season in the Duisburg district league is set to begin this Saturday, with two more teams from the six district league groups set to promote after the season. This year, the competition is fierce, particularly in group 5, where ten teams are battling it out.
The teams in group 5 include SV Genc Osman, Rheinland Hamborn, Viktoria Buchholz, Duisburger SV 1900, Duisburger FV 08, GSG Duisburg, TuS Asterlagen, VfB Homberg II, Rhenania Hamborn, and Meiderich 06/95.
The season winner of the 18-team league will secure a direct promotion to the Landesliga. Meanwhile, the 15th-placed team will face a relegation playoff, with an additional three teams from the six groups also relegating to the Kreisliga A after 34 matchdays.
In the promotion playoffs, the group 5 team will face the runners-up from groups 1 (Düsseldorf/Neuss area) and 3 (Mönchengladbach/Krefeld area). In case of a draw in the first match, the group 5 team gets a bye. The loser of the first match will then play against the group 3 team.
The new tiebreaker rule for the league has been changed from last season. In case of a tie, the direct comparison between the tied teams, including goal difference, will decide the outcome. If three or more teams are tied, their goal difference in all mutual matches will be considered. If the direct comparison is still tied, playoff matches will be played. However, the specifics of the new tiebreaker rule for the Duisburg district league football season in group 5 are not yet available.
The bottom three teams will relegate to the Kreisliga A, but the details of the relegation playoffs are not specified in the provided information.
The promotion and relegation regulations have seen changes this season, with the focus on fair competition and clear outcomes. As always, it is essential to keep an eye on the official Duisburg football district association’s communications, website, or recent announcements for the latest updates and rules.
Get ready for an exciting season of football in the Duisburg district league!
