VfB Oldenburg is a master

"Berlin, Berlin, we drive to Berlin," chanted the over 3000 fans of the hosts immediately after the final game of the last game, when it was clear that the 1-1 against the Holstein Kiel reserve would be enough for the championship in the Regionalliga Nord.

Undoubtedly, fans and players would like to avoid going to Berlin and would rather go directly to professional football. But this year there is only one place in League three for the master from the north and the northeast - and the Oldenburgers now have to play against the BFC Dynamo.

But how should the Berliners stop VfB? The Oldenburgers are still unbeaten in this calendar year, the last 15 opponents could no longer score against the North champions. Nevertheless, the players remain modest: "We first celebrate with the handbrake attracted," said Oldenburg's captain Max Wegner to the NDR.

That makes sense, because the path of the Oldenburgers is not yet over, the goal is to return to professional football after 25 years of abstinence. This is also necessary for this outside the square: the stadium is not suitable for third division. It was only this week that VfB published a press release in which the association campaigned for the construction of a new stadium, since the renovation of the Marschweg stadium would also be extremely expensive. Are the Oldenburgers allowed to rise at all?

A question that the players certainly do not deal with. The focus will be on the coming Saturday, because then, as announced by the fans, it goes to Berlin. A week later, on June 4, the BFC will be guest in Oldenburg. Only one of the two is allowed to climb into the 3rd division.
