Start of the regional league season: Gellershausen welcomes Lauscha!
The Southern Thuringia District Oberliga starts the new season on August 8, 2025, and the anticipation for the first game is already noticeable. The newcomer SV 1920 Gellershausen welcomes the relegated SG Lauscha/Neuhaus in the opening game and will compete at the “Am Sportplatz” sports facility in beautiful Gellershausen. The season opener also has a lot to offer: the best goalscorers and fair play winners from last season will be honored with awards, supported by the district. A successful start is guaranteed here, as insuedthueringen.de reports.
It won't be an easy task for SG Lauscha/Neuhaus. Last season they lost 4-1 in the first leg against SV Gellershausen. The team is currently ranked 4th in the table and has conceded 32 goals in its previous games - that is roughly the point at which coach Probst would like to stabilize the defense. A look at the challenge ahead shows that it will be crucial to learn the lessons from the previous season. The coach has almost the entire squad available, only Knauth and Leibold-Büttner are on the fence - the latter is unlikely to be able to play, as SG Lauscha/Neuhaus announced.
A look at the table
The table makes it clear how hard the competition for the first places in the league is. The leaders FSV Eintracht Hildburghausen have a lead of three points over SG Lauscha/Neuhaus, although they have played one less game. In this context, the next games are crucial for the Lauscha team in order to qualify for the promotion places.

A block game day that will be exciting not only for the adults, but also for the junior teams of SG Lauscha/Neuhaus.
With such a well-filled agenda and intensive preparations, it is to be hoped that SG Lauscha/Neuhaus can achieve its goals. A good hand in squad planning and the right strategy could make the difference here. If you follow current developments, you can find further details on kicker.de.
