“The chances of promotion are three times 50:50. Firstly, the fight for first place in the league. Then the relegation – and then there are the licensing conditions,” said President Manfred Schwabl (56) of the German Press Agency.
The former Bundesliga club Unterhaching leads the table after 23 games with 57 points ahead of third division relegated Würzburger Kickers. The champion denies promotion games against the champion of the Northeast Regional League.
For the Hachinger team coached by Sandro Wagner (35), the game continues on February 24th with an away game against the amateurs of FC Bayern Munich.
Why two Berlin Oberliga clubs exchanged eight players during the winter break!
The course for a possible promotion will be set promptly. “We will apply for the license and then discuss in detail in the committees whether we would play in the third division if the worst came to the worst,” said Schwabl.
“We will certainly not embark on any adventures in Unterhaching that jeopardize the infrastructure or the youth field. Youth and infrastructure are the most important assets we have as a club.”
