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.[1] 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.[2]
Modus
The clubs in each of the three divisions play a home-and-away round whereby there is no inter-league play. Every club plays therefore 26 regular season games. The bottom three teams in each division are relegated to the next level below, in turn, the best three teams from the region are promoted.
The winner of each league plus the runners-up of the South/Southwest region play in the finals round for the German Under 17 championship. The semi-finals are played in a home-and-away format. If the two semi-final teams playing each other are level on points and goals after the second game, there will be a penalty shoot-out. No extra time will be played.
The two semi-final winners reach the final, which is held at the location of the winner of the predetermined semi-final A, unless the teams stadium does not comply with DFB requirement, in which case an alternative venue will be determined. In the final, which is one game only, in case of a draw after normal time, a 20-minute extra time will be played. If the game is still a draw, a penalty shoot-out will determine the winner.[2]
Geography
