VFC Plauen: After relegation to the Oberliga – fans mourn and celebrate!
The 2024/25 season wasn't exactly a walk in the park for VFC Plauen. After a challenging time in the regional football league, the Plauen team now had to accept the painful relegation to the top league. Free press reports that the fans will still take special memories of the past few months with them - even if the focus is now on the restart in the major league.
A farewell party is coming up that will allow many players to say goodbye appropriately. On May 14, 2025, the team will officially say goodbye to ten players, including captain Daniel Heinrich, who is under contract until 2026. Other departures include Finn Hetzsch and Kyriakos Andreopoulos, who is saying goodbye after six years at VFC Plauen. Sports show emphasizes that coach Sedat Gören also retains the reins in the league in order to welcome the newly formed team into training.
A look back and forward
The sporting relegation from the Regionalliga Nordost means a return to the top league for VFC Plauen - after just one season. This situation brings with it some challenges, but the club also sees it as an opportunity. A special farewell should help to lighten the atmosphere and show respect to the players.
While the Oberliga dreams are rekindled, the question arises as to how promotion to future leagues is regulated. The regulations for promotion and relegation are clear: the champion of the Oberliga has the opportunity to be promoted to the Regionalliga, but the entire process also depends on other factors such as licensing.

The next period will be crucial in order to close the Regionalliga chapter and define the new goals in the Oberliga. On June 7, 2025, head coach Gören will welcome the newly formed team for the start of training - a step that marks the beginning of a new era for VFC Plauen.
The fans are excited to see how the club will learn from the setbacks and come back stronger. VFC Plauen could perhaps show in the Oberliga that they will emerge stronger from their experience in the Regionalliga. Another aspect that is important for the coming season: the team dynamics and chemistry, especially after the upcoming changes to the squad.
