The Under 17 Bundesliga (German: ''B-Junioren Bundesliga'') is the highest level of play in German football for male juniors between the ages of 15 and 17.〔(DFB Jugendordnung – § 5 ) DFB website: Regulations for youth football, accessed: 16 November 2008〕 It was formed in 2007 and operates in three regional divisions with 14 clubs each. At the end of season, the three league winners and one of the runners-up determine the German champions for this age group. ==History== The league was formed in 2007, when the five ''U 17 Regionalligas'' merged to form the three ''Bundesligas'' as follows: * ''Under 17 Bundesliga North/Northeast'' formed from: * * ''Under 17 Regionalliga North'' * * ''Under 17 Regionalliga Northeast'' * ''Under 17 Bundesliga South/Southwest'' formed from: * * ''Under 17 Regionalliga South'' * * ''Under 17 Regionalliga Southwest'' * ''Under 17 Bundesliga West'' formed from: * * ''Under 17 Regionalliga West'' As such, the German Football Association followed the example it had set with the ''Under 19 Bundesligas'' in 2004, which were reorganised in the same fashion. The ''Regionalligas'' itself had only been formed in 2000, to replace an even more regionalised system with separate leagues for every regional football association.〔(Rund um die B-Junioren-Meisterschaft ) DFB website: Explanations to the league system〕 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「Under 17 Bundesliga」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
