Promotion to the 3rd division perfect

The promotion of Borussia Dortmund’s 2nd team to the 3rd division is officially confirmed. As the SV Bergisch Gladbach announced on Saturday, the club waived further legal steps after the Association Sports Court of the West German Football Association (WDFV) had rejected the appeal against the valuation of the game against the second representative of BVB (1: 3).

“Being right and being right are unfortunately two different things,” said President Rolf Menzel. The association has no hope of being successful with an appointment and will “therefore not continue to pursue this path”. This clears the way to the 3rd league for Dortmund, who had taken first place after the regional league season was over.

Before the duel against Bergisch Gladbach in May, several BVB players had positive corona tests reported, and parts of the team had to go into quarantine in coordination with the health authorities. This is why BVB II had fewer than 16 players, including two goalkeepers, according to the list of playing eligibility. The request for a postponement was granted by the game organizing body. That decision had been called into question.
