The Verbandsliga Brandenburg is the sixth tier of the German football league system and the highest league in the German state of Brandenburg, the heartland of what once was the Kingdom of Prussia (German:Preußen). Until the introduction of the 3rd Liga in 2008, it was the fifth tier of the league system.

[edit] Overview

The Verbandsliga Brandenburg, sometimes referred to as Brandenburgliga, was established in 1990 from thirteen clubs as a highest league for the German state of Brandenburg, which incidentally was established after the league in October 1990, and the Brandenburg Football Association, FLB (German:Fussball-Landesverband Brandenburg). It compromised the area of the three Bezirksligas of Potsdam, Frankfurt/Oder and Cottbus. Each of those three Bezirke contributed four clubs to the new league, with one club coming from the 2nd Division. The Verbandsliga was established within the East German football league system and in cooperated in the league system of the united Germany after the end of its first season, in 1991.

The Verbandsliga was and is a feeder league to the NOFV-Oberliga Nord, together with the Verbandsliga Berlin and Verbandsliga Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, which its champion is directly promoted to. As such, it was the fourth tier of the German league system.

The Brandenburg football association itself was formed on 28th of July 1990[1].

The league expanded to sixteen clubs in its second season and this number remained as the preferred strength of the league.

With the introduction of the Regionalliga Nordost as third tier of the league system in 1994, the Verbandsligas slipped to tier five.

In 2008, the league again was demoted one level when the 3rd Liga was established. However, this changed nothing in the leagues status as a feeder league to the NOFV-Oberliga.

While the majority of clubs from the Verbandsliga Brandenburg play in the NOFV-Oberliga Nord, one club from the very south of the state is occasionally entered in the southern division, the NOFV-Oberliga Süd, for geographical reasons, this is the FC Energie Cottbus II.
