Finally the time has come: The approval procedure for the 3rd division is complete, and the field of participants is therefore fixed for the 2025/2026 season. The German Football Association (DFB) has given all 20 sporty qualified clubs. The " Media Sportservice " reports that six of the 20 places are newly occupied this season. There is joy for two promoters: 1. FC Schweinfurt 05 and TSG Hoffenheim II, who are first in the third division. In addition, the MSV Duisburg and TSV Havelse are returning, while relegated SSV Ulm 1846 and SSV Jahn Regensburg are now hunting for a resource.

But how does the admission procedure actually work? Not only the fans of the new and returning clubs can cheer, but also those of the established teams who can now hope for new challenges. The approval procedure, which is subject to the DFB and is based on the requirements of the DFB statute, checks the economic and technical-organizational performance of the clubs. The deadline for submitting the documents for the 3rd league this season until March 1. If you do not meet the requirements, you have to descend to the regional league, which certainly no club wants to have on the piece of paper. Details on the procedure can be read on the DFB website, where, among other things, the new sharper equity requirements are discussed, which only guarantee a place in the third division in the event of success.
