The Landesliga Weser-Ems, called the ''Bezirksoberliga Weser-Ems'' from 1979 to 1994 and 2006 to 2010,〔(Fußball-Journal Niedersachsen ) Official monthly publication of the NFV, page: 65, published: May 2010, accessed: 5 February 2011〕 is the sixth tier of the German football league system and the second highest league in the German state of Lower Saxony (German:''Niedersachsen''). It covers the region of the now defunct ''Regierungsbezirk'' Weser-Ems. It is one of four leagues at this level in Lower Saxony, the other three being the ''Landesliga Lüneburg'', the ''Landesliga Hannover'' and the ''Landesliga Braunschweig''. The term ''Landesliga'' can be translated as ''State league''. ==Overview== The league's history goes back to 1979, when four new ''Bezirksoberligas'' (Braunschweig, Hannover, Lüneburg and Weser-Ems) were formed in the state of Lower Saxony. The ''Bezirksoberligas'' (6th tier) were set below the ''Verbandsliga Niedersachsen'' (4th tier) and the two ''Landesligas'' (5th tier) in the German football league system. In 1994, the two old ''Landesligas'' were dissolved, while the four ''Bezirksoberligas'' were renamed into ''Landesliga Braunschweig'', ''Landesliga Hannover'', ''Landesliga Lüneburg'', and ''Landesliga Weser-Ems'' respectively. Due to the introduction of the new Regionalliga (IV) the new ''Landesligas'' still remained at the 6th tier of German football, however. In 2006, the ''Landesliga'' was renamed into ''Bezirksoberliga'' again. The new ''Bezirksoberliga Wser-Ems'' was made up of sixteen clubs,〔(Bezirksoberliga Weser-Ems table 2006-07 ) Fussball.de, accessed: 12 July 2009〕 three from the tier-five ''Verbandsliga Niedersachsen-West'', nine from the ''Landesliga'' and two each from the two ''Bezirksligas''. The league was formed in a reorganisation of the league system in Lower Saxony, whereby the four regional ''Landsligas'' were replaced by the ''Bezirksoberligas''. Below these, the number of ''Bezirksligas'' was increased. In Weser-Ems, the two ''Bezirksligas'' were expanded to five, while the other three regions operate with four ''Bezirksligas'' at this level.〔(Spielordnung des Niedersächsischen Fußballverbandes e.V. ) Rules and regulations of the Lower Saxony football association, published: 16 May 2009, accessed: 12 July 2009〕 The ''Bezirksoberliga'', like the ''Landesliga'' before, was set in the league system below the ''Verbandsliga'' and above the now five ''Bezirksligas'', which were numbered from one to five. The winner of the ''Bezirksoberliga'' was directly promoted to the ''Verbandsliga'', while the bottom placed teams, in a varying number, were relegated to the ''Bezirksliga''. The ''Bezirksoberligas'' of Weser-Ems and Hannover form the tier below the ''Verbandsliga West'', while those of Lüneburg and Braunschweig form the tier below the eastern division of the ''Verbandsliga''. In the leagues first season, 2006–07, the runners-up of the league, SV Holthausen-Biene, had to play-off with the runners-up of the ''Bezirksoberliga Hannover'', TSV Stelingen, a game they lost 1-0 and thereby failed to gain promotion.〔''Deutschlands Fussball in Zahlen - Die Saisonn 2006-07'' publisher: DSFS, page: 260〕 In the following two seasons, only the league champions were eligible for promotion. At the end of the 2007-08 season, with the introduction of the ''3rd Liga'', the ''Verbandsliga'' was renamed ''Oberliga Niedersachsen-West''.〔''Deutschlands Fussball in Zahlen - Die Saisonn 2007-08'' publisher: DSFS, page: 238〕 For the ''Bezirksoberliga'', this had no direct consequences, but the league was increased to eighteen clubs. After the 2009-10 season, the two ''Oberligas'' ((英語:Premier league)) in Lower Saxony were merged to one single division. The four ''Bezirksoberliga'' champions that season were not be automatically promoted, instead they had to compete with the four teams placed ninth and tenth in the ''Oberliga'' for four more spots in this league.〔(Oberliga Niedersachsen 2009-10: Regulations ) NFV website, accessed: 9 July 2009〕 On 17 May 2010, the Lower Saxony football association decided to rename the four ''Bezirksoberligas'' to ''Landesligas'' from the 1 July 2010. This change in name came alongside the merger of the two ''Oberliga'' divisions above it into the ''Niedersachsenliga''.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Landesliga Weser-Ems」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
