THE GERMAN BUNDESLIGA
Bundesliga was founded in 1962 in Dortmund and the first season started in 1963. The structure
and organisation of the Bundesliga along with Germany's other football leagues
have undergone frequent changes right up to the present day. The Bundesliga was
originally founded by the Deutscher Fußball-Bund
(English: German Football Association), but is now operated by the Deutsche Fußball Liga
(English: German Football League).
It is a professional association football
league in Germany and the football league with the highest average stadium attendance worldwide. At the top of the German football league system,
the Bundesliga is Germany's primary football competition. The Bundesliga is
contested by 18 teams and operates on a system of promotion and relegation
with the 2. Bundesliga. Seasons run from August to
May. Most games are played on Saturdays and Sundays, with a few games played on
weekdays. All of the Bundesliga clubs qualify for the DFB-Pokal. The winner of the Bundesliga qualifies for the DFL-Supercup.
A total of 53 clubs have competed in the
Bundesliga since its founding. FC Bayern Munich has won the Bundesliga the most, winning the
title 24 times. However, the Bundesliga has seen other champions with Borussia Dortmund, Hamburger SV, Werder Bremen, Borussia Mönchengladbach
and VfB Stuttgart most prominent among them. The Bundesliga is one
of the top national leagues, currently ranked 2nd in Europe according to UEFA's
league coefficient
ranking, based on performances in European competitions over the past five
seasons. The Bundesliga is the number one football league in the world in terms
of average attendance; out of all sports, its average of 45,134 fans per game
during the 2011–12 season was the second highest of any sports league in the
world after the National Football League.[2] The Bundesliga is broadcast on television in over
200 countries.
The Bundesliga is composed of two divisions:
the 1. Bundesliga (although it is rarely referred to with the First
prefix), and, below that, the 2. Bundesliga (Second Bundesliga), which has been
the second tier of German football since 1974. The
Bundesligen (plural) are professional leagues. Since 2008, the 3. Liga (3rd
League) in Germany is also a professional league, but may not be called
Bundesliga because the league is run by the German Football Association (DFB)
and not, as are the two Bundesligen, by the German Football League
(Deutsche Fußball-Liga or DFL).
