Dro and Levico Are Saved: The Far-Ranging Implications

Starting with the regional league: Since four places become available in the upper league (one promoted, three relegated), the first two teams in the regional leagues South Tyrol and Trento will definitely be promoted. From a South Tyrolean perspective, the return of Obermais to the regional football upper house is certain From a mathematical point of view, Martin Klotzner's team can no longer fall behind second place - quite apart from the fact that the Merano team is only one point away from perfecting the championship title. Weinstraße Süd can also almost certainly plan for the first league year in the club's history. The Unterlandlers have to get two points in the remaining three games to secure second place. It would have to be the devil if Zadra & Co. allowed this butter to be taken from their bread.

Five new ones in the national league Things will also be exciting in the two 1st Amateur League circles. The two champions are promoted anyway (in district B, Bruneck is still two points short of the title, in district A everything points to a Neumarkt masterpiece), but after that there are still three regional league places to fill. For this purpose, the two runners-up and the cup winner go into a three-way tournament, the winner of which is guaranteed promotion and the remaining free state league places are determined by the remaining participants in this mini-tournament. In plain language this means: The two champions, the two runners-up and the cup winner are promoted to the national league. However, if a place in the highest provincial league still remains vacant, since a runner-up could also be a cup winner, this would be awarded to another 1st amateur league team based on general sporting merit (“meriti sportivi”).

Same picture in the 2nd amateur league In the second amateur league the same picture: The three district winners are automatically promoted, while the three runners-up compete with the cup winner in a four-way tournament. The winner advances, the remaining places are taken by the other teams participating in the four-person tournament. If there are still free places in the 1st amateur league, these would be awarded based on general sporting merit.

Dro and Levico Are Saved: The Far-Ranging Implications

On Sunday, both Dro and Levico picked up an away win in the penultimate round of Serie D. The relegation of the two Trentino clubs is also mathematically a done deal. The (positive) effects of this can be felt even in the lowest amateur categories.
