The Northeastern German Football Association (German: Nordostdeutscher Fußballverband), the NOFV, is one of five regional organisations of the German Football Association, the DFB, and covers the states of Berlin, Brandenburg, Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, Saxony, Saxony-Anhalt and Thuringia.^[1]

Overview

The NOFV was formed on 20 November 1990 in Leipzig to take the place of the Deutscher Fußball-Verband der DDR, the DFV which was dissolved immediately before the formation of the new association at the same location.^[2] The DFV had been the football association of East Germany which itself had ceased to exist after the German reunification on 3 October 1990.

The NOFV is in turn subdivided into the Berlin Football Association, Brandenburg Football Association, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern State Football Association, Saxony Football Association, Saxony-Anhalt Football Association and the Thuringia Football Association.^[1]

In 2020, the NOFV has had 684,406 members, 4,151 member clubs and 19,902 teams playing in its league system.^[3]
