The Regional Football Association South West (German: Fussball-Regional-Verband Südwest), the FRVS, is one of five regional organisations of the German Football Association, the DFB, and covers the states of Rhineland-Palatinate and Saarland.[1]
Overview
![](../I/m/Karte-DFB-Regionalverb%C3%A4nde.png)
DFB, its five regional and 21 state associations
The association was formed on 3 August 1950 as the Fußball-Verband Rheinland-Pfalz when the South West German Football Association left the Southern German Football Association in mutual consent over a dispute over whether the Oberliga should be played in one or two regional divisions.[2] It was renamed on 11 July 1956 to Fußball-Verband Rheinland-Pfalz-Saar before receiving its current name on 12 July 1958.[3]
The FRVS is in turn subdivided into the Rhineland Football Association, South West German Football Association and the Saarland Football Association.[1]
In 2014, the FRVS had 551,855 members, 2,545 member clubs and 14,023 teams playing in its league system.[4]
