Relegation test for Werndorf: relegation battle of the Mitte region!

What is happening in the middle football region when a round before the end of the championship increases the tension? The teams are fighting for every point, while Thomas Nussgruber, director of the Styrian Football Association, clarifies that no new registrations can be confirmed by clubs at the moment. The signs for the descent have already been set: Frohnleiten under coach Patrick Wolf is firmly in the relegation battle from the Landesliga and will no longer be there in the coming season.

The view is also aimed at the Oberliga Mitte, where the clubs on the lower half of the table are about everything. Two teams have to descend into the lower league and the twelfth place, currently Werndorf, faces a crucial duel in the relegation. You have to compete against the runner -up in the League Mitte, currently the Andritz team. Anyone who is Werndorf could determine the fate of another club. Should Werndorf keep relegation, a club has to relegate from the lower division - this is expected to meet St. Marein.

Another exciting aspect of the competition is the relegation games.

A look back at the Landesliga

In order to understand the importance of the Styria State League, a quick look at history is worthwhile. The first championship took place in the 1912/13 season and was organized by the German-Alpine Football Association. The Graz football club "Sturm" triumphed. This team should often cause a sensation over the years and establish itself as the dominator of the Styrian football scene. The league has changed a lot since its foundation and today comprises 16 clubs that fight and 15 in an exciting format with 30 game days- 15 back and 15 re-game- of the promotion to the regional league.

The regulations for relegated varies vary between two and four clubs per season. Since the 2014/2015 season there have also been relegation games for the first non -relegation place, which also increases competitiveness. These developments and the rich history of the league show that football in Styria is more than just a game - it is a real struggle for honor and identity.

In the coming weeks, it will be exciting to follow how the relegation games and the last championship duels develop. It remains to be seen whether Werndorf, Eggersdorf, or another team can pull their head out of the noose. One thing is certain: the region with its traditional clubs will continue to provide sporting highlights in the future.
