Liga'' (III) and the ''Regionalliga West'' (IV) are directly qualified for the first round, the remaining places are filled with the teams who qualified from local cup competitions, the ''Kreispokale''. All up, 32 clubs take part in the first round of the competition.〔 Since the establishment of the 3. Liga in 2008, reserve teams can not take part in the German Cup or the Middle Rhine Cup anymore. 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「Middle Rhine Cup」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
