[edit] History

The Oberliga Südwest is one of seven Oberliga's in Germany. The league is a combination of the regional Football Federations Rhine County, Saarland and Southwest, the next league up is Regionalliga West. It was formed in 1978 out of the top teams of the Amateurligas Rheinland, Saarland and Südwest. Until 2008, when the 3rd Liga was introduced, the Oberliga was the fourth tier of the league system.

[edit] Rules

There are 18 teams that will compeate for the Oberliga Südwest title. Teams play each other twice, once at home and once away. At the end of the season the champion used to be promoted into either the Regionalliga Süd or the Regionalliga Nord depending on their geographical location. From 2008, the league winner will be promoted to the new Regionalliga West. In the 2006-07 season, the teams finishing from 2nd to 4th were also be promoted.

If the team who wins the Oberliga Südwest or is on a promotion spot at the end of the season fails to have the correct license then the team who finishes next would be promoted instead of them.
