From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The league, is the highest football league in the Westphalia (German: Westfalen) region of the state of North Rhine-Westphalia. It is one of fourteen Oberligas in German football, the fifth tier of the German football league system. Until the introduction of the 3.

Overview[edit]

The league was formed in 1978 to slot in above the Verbandsliga Westfalen which had been operating at this level up to then in two regional divisions. Originally it carried the name Amateur-Oberliga Westfalen. In 1994, when the Regionalliga West/Südwest was formed, the league changed its official name, now to Oberliga Westfalen, and became a tier four league. From 2000 onwards it became a feeder league to the Regionalliga Nord, after the Regionalliga West/Südwest had been disbanded. In 2008, when the Regionalliga West was introduced, the league was disbanded in favour of the NRW-Liga. The latter was disbanded again in 2012 and the Oberliga Westfalen reintroduced..
