Above the Bezirksoberligas, the Landesligas were expanded in number from three to five divisions and the Bezirke have two to three regional leagues, the Bezirksligas, as its highest level again, similar to the system in place until 1988. The Bezirksoberligas in Bavaria were introduced in 1988 upon

66-612: A consequence, the two clubs were expelled from the BLSV in September 1945. To alleviate the friction between the BLSV and the Bavarian football clubs, Hans Huber, later chairman of the BFV , was placed in charge of the football department of the BLSV and readmitted Bayern and 1860 to the association. Confronted with accusations that the football department did not stand up enough to

198-415: Is a player who is not paid for its participation in a game and receives no more than €249.99 per month in compensations. It also sub-divides professionals in contracted players and licensed players. A contracted player is a player who is a member of a club who also receives payments in excess of €250 while a licensed player is a full professional. The BFV clearly defines the season as starting on 1 July of

231-408: Is actually much larger than the Bavarian region of Schwaben, it compromises all of the state of Baden-Württemberg and event relates linguistically into Austria and Switzerland. In football however, the only region that carries the name is the Bavarian region of Schwaben. With the league reform at the end of the 2011–12 season, which includes an expansion of the number of Landesligas from three to five,

264-469: The BFV has 1,602,807 members, making it by far the biggest regional association in Germany, with Westphalia coming second with 946,502 members.

It was formed as an independent association on 4 February 1949 but its origins date back to 1945. The Bavarian FA is also part of the Southern German Football Association , the SFV , one of five regional federations in Germany . The other members of the SFV are

330-573: The BLSV , the former eventually took the step of establishing itself as an independent organisation and became the Bayerischer Fussball-Verband on 4 February 1945. Additionally, on 19 December 1949, the Southern German Football Federation was officially reestablished. To alleviate any friction between the Southern German and the state associations, the latter became a member of the SFV but

363-601: The BLSV , was established and officially sanctioned by the US authorities a year later. This new association was not exclusively popular, as it was seen by former members of the SFLV as an obstacle to reestablish the latter. The situation soon deteriorated into conflict as, in September 1945, a regional football league was established, the Oberliga Süd , which was made up of 16 of the foremost football clubs of Southern Germany. The organisers of this competition had also received

396-882: The Baden-Württemberg football league system. These are called the Iller Vereine after the river Iller that forms the border in this area. These mostly left the Schwaben FA in 1946, but some, like the SpVgg Lindau , have always played in Württemberg. Another oddity is the club SV Casino Kleinwalsertal , playing in the Schwaben but being at home in Austria . The Kleinwalsertal can only be accessed by land via Germany. The Schwaben Cup , one of

429-638: The Bayernliga , in men's, women's, Under 19, 17 and 15 boys and Under 17 girls competitions. Below these, regional leagues are set, the Landesligas, followed by a league pyramid that extends as far as the 13th tier of the German football league system in some regions. The Bavarian Cup is the premier cup competition in Bavaria, held in a male and female edition. The top-level leagues in Bavaria since 2012-13 are: Bavaria accommodates one club from Austria ,

462-735: The German Cup . Football in Southern Germany, and thereby in Bavaria was originally administrated by the Süddeutscher Fussball-Verband , which was formed on 17 October 1897 in Karlsruhe , then under the name of Verband Süddeutscher Fussball-Vereine . The new federation soon began to organise a regional football competition, the Southern German football championship , followed by a league system

495-1019: The Landesliga Bayern-Süd as they afterwards feed the Bezirksoberliga Schwaben . From 1963 to 1968 there was only one common Bezirksliga in Schwaben , similar to what the Bezirksoberliga does now. From 1968 onwards the Bezirksligas were always split. The winner of the Bezirksoberliga Schwaben , like the winner of the Bezirksoberliga Oberbayern , was directly promoted to the Landesliga Bayern-Süd . The two second placed teams out of those league's played-off for another promotion spot. The winner went to Landesliga ,

528-563: The SV Kleinwalsertal , which plays in the B-Klasse Allgäu 8 in 2017–18. A number of Bavarian clubs have opted to play in the league systems of neighboring states for geographical reasons. FC Bayern Alzenau plays in the league system of Hesse, formerly with Viktoria Aschaffenburg . Viktoria's senior and junior teams now play in the Bavarian league system. A number of clubs from the border region to Württemberg , along

561-476: The Bezirksoberligas were disbanded. Instead, the Bezirksligas took the place of the Bezirksoberligas below the Landesligas once more.

594-692: The Donau/Iller region, the remainder spread over other border regions of the WFV . In late 2010, the idea was floated that those clubs could be forced to return to the Bavarian league system but this idea was dropped again. The rules of the game in Bavaria, the Spielordnung , has a number of special clauses that, at times, differ from the standard frame work of the DFB . The BFV categorises players in three groups, amateurs, contracted players and licensed players. The Bavarian FA's definition of an amateur

627-704: The Schwaben FA is not identical to the Bezirk Schwaben, mainly because that the Bezirks borders, like everywhere in Bavaria, were altered in the 1970s in a border reform. Therefore, there are quite a few clubs playing in Schwaben that are actually at home in Oberbayern . The TSV Landsberg and the FC Pipinsried are the most successful of those but others have made it into the Bezirksoberliga too. Also, some clubs from western Schwaben are playing in

660-714: The TSV Dinkelscherben, SV Mering and SV Egg an der Günz.

Because of its status, Bavaria is awarded an extra entry to the first round of

759-552: The football clubs remained members of their state associations only, not the SFV . The SFV had the responsibility to organise the Oberliga and the new 2nd Oberliga, all other leagues were part of their state associations. The BFV in turn was organised in seven regional federations, the Bezirke , those being Middle-, Upper- and Lower Franconia, Upper- and Lower Bavaria, Swabia and the Upper Palatinate. As of 2017,

792-490: The fourth to sixth tier of the league system have to have a nominal strength of 18 teams, leagues below of 16 teams, also this can fluctuate with promotion and relegation. It also dictates a specific league name for every tier. Up to the Kreisklasse, the fourth-lowest tier, first and second teams can play at the same level, but not in the same league. Unlike most other football associations in Germany, Bavaria did not use

825-409: The goal difference to determine league positions if two or more teams are on equal points on a rank of importance in the final standings. Should two or more teams be on equal points when a championship, promotion or relegation rank was considered, the teams had to play deciders. However, this rule was temporarily out of force in 2011-12 because of the large number of deciders already required to determine

858-1543: The league system experienced a major overhaul when the Regionalliga Bayern was established, the Bayernliga split into two regional divisions and the Landesliga expanded from three to five divisions. The top-tiers of the league system as operated from 2014–15 onwards: Level League(s)/Division(s) I Bundesliga 18 clubs II 2. Bundesliga 18 clubs III 3.

891-518: The loser faced the 15th placed team out of the Landesliga for the last spot there. However, in some years additional promotion places were available in the Landesliga . In 1994, 2000 and 2004, three teams from Schwaben gained promotion to the Landesliga . The three bottom teams of the Bezirksoberliga were relegated to the Bezirksliga , the team just above those faced a play-off against the second placed Bezirksliga teams. The area covered by

924-406: The make up of the future league system after 2012 with its major changes. Since then the goal difference has been used on higher league levels while lower levels were given the option of select which method they wish to use. All league champions within the Bavarian league system have the right for direct promotion. Should a club decline promotion, the right gets passed on to the next-placed team, to

957-399: The order to disband was officially carried out. The financial liquidation of the federation was completed in 1942. Post- Second World War Germany saw Bavaria become part of the US occupation zone. As travel within the occupation zone was restricted, the reestablishing of a Southern German federation seemed initially impossible. Instead, on 18 July 1945, a Bavarian State Sports Association.

990-403: The permission to reestablish the SFV from the US authorities. Below the Oberliga, the not yet officially reestablished SFV decreed that Landesligas were to be established for each of the states.

1056-572: The seven now defunct Bezirkspokale (Cups), featured another oddity. It heavily favours low-level clubs. A lower-level club always had home advantage to the higher one and also only need a draw to advance. In 1994 the SC Altenmünster and in 1998 the BC Aichach both won the cup against higher classed Bayernliga club FC Memmingen by drawing after extra time. The rule was changed for the cup-final game after 1998. The region of Schwaben
