The Regional Football Association South West (German: Fussball-Regional-Verband Südwest), the FRVS, is one of five regional organisations of the German Football Association, the DFB, and covers the states of Rhineland-Palatinate and Saarland.[1]

Overview

DFB, its five regional and 21 state associations

The association was formed on 3 August 1950 as the Fußball-Verband Rheinland-Pfalz when the South West German Football Association left the Southern German Football Association in mutual consent over a dispute over whether the Oberliga should be played in one or two regional divisions.[2] It was renamed on 11 July 1956 to Fußball-Verband Rheinland-Pfalz-Saar before receiving its current name on 12 July 1958.[3]

The FRVS is in turn subdivided into the Rhineland Football Association, South West German Football Association and the Saarland Football Association.[1]

In 2016, the FRVS had 518,502 members, 2,455 member clubs and 11,369 teams playing in its league system.[4]
