Third League
VfB Stuttgart II is one of the founding members of the recently established 3rd Liga. The 3rd Liga is the new third tier of German football. It sits below the Bundesliga and 2nd Bundesliga. Earlier, when they were in the Regionalliga Süd, they did not have the option of promotion. All “B” teams can gain this privilege, by giving up their opportunity to participate in the DFB-Pokal.

Famous quotes containing the word league:
“Half a league, half a league,
Half a league onward,
All in the valley of Death
Rode the six hundred.
“Forward the Light Brigade!”
—Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)
“I am not impressed by the Ivy League establishments. Of course they graduate the best—it’s all they’ll take, leaving to others the problem of educating the country. They will give you an education the way the banks will give you money—provided you can prove to their satisfaction that you don’t need it.”
—Peter De Vries (b. 1910)
