The Saarlandliga (English: ''Saarland league'') is currently the sixth tier of the German football league system in the German federal state of Saarland. It is a new league, introduced at the end of the 2008-09 season. In the past, the term ''Saarlandliga'' has unofficially been used for what was at times the Ehrenliga Saarland, the Amateurliga Saarland and, from 1978, the Verbandsliga Saarland. The new league however carries the name officially and is not known by any other name. ==Overview== The league was introduced after a decision made by the ''Saarland Football Association'' on 31 May 2008. It was decided, that the new league will be operating from the 2009-10 season onwards and slot in between the tier-five Oberliga Südwest and the, from then on, tier-seven Verbandsliga Saarland.〔(Aufstiegs- und Abstiegsregelungen nach der Saison 2008/09 ) Saarland FA website, accessed: 14 June 2009〕 The Verbandsliga will remain as a single-division competition, which is unusual for the German football pyramid, where most leagues have two to three feeder leagues below itself. To qualify for the new league, a club had to finish within the following specifications at the end of the 2008-09 season: * All Saarland clubs relegated from the Oberliga Südwest (V) qualify. * The clubs placed second to seventeenth in the Verbandsliga Saarland (VI) qualify. The Verbandsliga winner earns promotion to the Oberliga. * The two Landesliga (VII) champions qualify. As the number of clubs relegated from the Oberliga from Saarland was not known at the time this system was decided on, it was determined that for every team relegated, one less from the Verbandsliga would qualify. In this case, the SV Mettlach having been relegated, the seventeenth club from the Verbandsliga would not gain entry to the new Saarlandliga. The clubs from the Verbandsliga not qualified for the new league are to remain in the Verbandsliga and will not suffer relegation to the Landesligas. 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「Saarlandliga」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
