East German football league system

The East German football league system was a system of leagues for clubs in East Germany. All leagues were connected with relegations and promotions, meaning a club in the lower divisions could rise up to the higher divisions.

Structure
The first level (NOFV-Oberliga) was the only league in the system with only one division.

The second level (NOFV-Liga) was split up in two groups, Group A and Group B.

At the third level the divisions split up in to the Bezirke league systems of East Germany, and even lower down, it splits up into the Kreise.
