FC Memmingen returns to the regional league Bayern.

In the season finale of the Bayernliga Süd, the footballers of FC Memmingen left nothing to burn. With the 3-0 win at Türkspor Augsburg, the Unterallgäuer put the title and thus immediately return to the regional league Bayern, whose founding member was also Memminger 13 years ago. But a little grief mingled with the joy of the triumph, because on the day before the ascent, the long -time supervisor Konrad « Konny » Bärtle died. The master players also thought.

Memmingen’s coach Günes is proud of his team

The fact that the FCM will return to the Bavarian Oberhaus immediately after relegation is anything but a matter of course. Before the season, the Memmingers were rather reserved in terms of goal, and others initially admitted the tone. Almost the entire Bayernliga round greeted TSV 1860 Munich II from the top, although it was clear to the winter break that the young lions should not rise. Because first of all, the Munich professionals should have climbed into the 2nd Bundesliga. But they were more in the relegation battle. With SV Erlbach and FC Pipinsried, there were two other competitors who were in the Bayernliga in between. It was only on the penultimate matchday that Memmingen took over the top – and no longer gave them away. « But over the whole season we took the completely correct development and developed a team spirit that I do not know whether I will experience something in the art in football again, » enthused FCM trainer Matthias Günes after winning the title.

SV Erlbach wants to take the second chance

The mood at FC Pipinsried was completely different, which played all chances with two defeats within a week. In the end, a tie against TSV Kottern would have been enough to contest the promotion relegation. Because the tied rival SV Erlbach stumbled (0: 4 at SV Kirchanschöring), but the Pipinsrieder even lost 0: 2. « It is disappointed when you see how big the chance was, » FCP coach Josef Steinberger was visibly kinked. So Erlbach now has the chance to move up to the regional league for the first time. In 2024, the Upper Bavaria had still waved off as a master and could not meet the requirements at the time. In the meantime, the association has worked on the infrastructure and wants to take the second chance – in the two duels against the SpVgg Hankofen -Hailing.
