Overview
The Verbandsliga Mecklenburg-Vorpommern was established in 1991 from sixteen clubs as a highest league for the German state of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern and the Mecklenburg-Vorpommern Football Association, LFVM (German:Landesfussballverband Mecklenburg-Vorpommern). It compromised the area of the three Bezirksligen of Rostock, Neubrandenburg and Schwerin. Each of those three Bezirke contributed four to five clubs to the new league, with two clubs coming from the 2nd Division. The Verbandsliga Mecklenburg-Vorpommern was the last of the five leagues established at this level in former East Germany, a year after the other four.
The league was originally named Landesliga Mecklenburg-Vorpommern and changed to the title Verbandsliga in 1996.
The Mecklenburg-Vorpommern Football Association was formed on 14 July 1990.[1]
Throughout its existence, the league operated on a strength of sixteen clubs, occasionally diverting to seventeen to level out promotion and relegation.
The Verbandsliga was and is a feeder league to the NOFV-Oberliga Nord, together with the Verbandsliga Berlin and Verbandsliga Brandenburg, which its champion is directly promoted to. As such, it was the fourth tier of the German league system.
With the introduction of the Regionalliga Nordost as third tier of the league system in 1994, the Verbandsligen slipped to tier five.
In 2008, the league was again be demoted one level when the 3rd Liga was established. However, this did not change anything in the leagues status as a feeder league to the NOFV-Oberliga.
