The 1983–84 Fußball-Bundesliga was the 21st season of the Bundesliga, the premier football league in West Germany. It began on 12 August 1983[1] and ended on 26 May 1984.[2] Stuttgart won the championship. Defending champions, Hamburg finished second. The 1983–84 Bundesliga season holds the record for most goals scored in a Bundesliga season.
Competition modus
Every team played two games against each other team, one at home and one away. Teams received two points for a win and one point for a draw. If two or more teams were tied on points, places were determined by goal difference and, if still tied, by goals scored. The team with the most points were crowned champions while the two teams with the least points were relegated to 2. Bundesliga. The third-to-last team had to compete in a two-legged relegation/promotion play-off against the third-placed team from 2. Bundesliga.
Team changes to 1982–83
Karlsruher SC and Hertha BSC were directly relegated to the 2. Bundesliga after finishing in the last two places. They were replaced by SV Waldhof Mannheim and Kickers Offenbach. Karlsruhe and Hertha BSC were eventually joined in demotion by relegation/promotion play-off participant FC Schalke 04, who lost on aggregate against Bayer 05 Uerdingen.
Season overview
On the 32nd game day of the season 53 goals were scored in 9 games, marking the highest number of goals ever scored in a single game day of the Bundesliga. The 1983–84 season is also the season in which the most goals of the course of the whole season were scored, 1084 in total.
