Fliesteden celebrates promotion, Hürth has to accept bitter relegation!

On June 15, 2025, the decision about promotion and relegation was made in the amateur leagues in the Rhineland. In particular, SC Fliesteden and FC Hürth were the focus of the sporting drama. ksta.de reports that Fliesteden celebrated promotion to the state league with an impressive 6-0 win in Birkesdorf. Meanwhile, FC Hürth had to make the bitter transition to the lower league after a chaotic game in Porz.

In Porz there was tension until the end, while the game between SpVg Porz and FC Hürth became intense in the last minutes. Hürth initially led 3-1, but a controversial penalty brought Porz the equalizer to 3-3 in the 75th minute. As a result, two Hürth club representatives were sent off with red cards - a rather shocking end for the team, which is now at the bottom of the table.

Tensions on the pitch

The game in Porz was tough. Hürth, who would have kept the theoretical chance of staying in the league with a win, found himself exposed to an oppressive pressure situation. The Hürth coach and his players put in a fighting performance, but were unable to prevent the fourth defeat in a row. This means that Hürth is now relegated and the players have to say goodbye to the league with a heavy heart.

For SpVg Porz, winning the point was crucial in order to leave the relegation zone. Recently, however, coach Jonas Wendt's team had to struggle with personnel shortages, although they still went into the last game optimistically. Porz had previously suffered a 3:5 defeat against Weiden, which revealed defensive weaknesses. But the team's courage paid off today and strengthened their hope of staying in the league.

The rise of SC Fliesteden

SC Fliesteden, on the other hand, can look forward to the next chapter of its club history. The 6-0 win, combined with the results of the other games, secured promotion. Hürth and Elsdorf had shown exciting but ultimately unsatisfactory performances, while Fliesteden put in a dominant performance and thus reached the goal of the national league. Elsdorf was also forced to bury its hope of winning the championship with a 1-2 defeat against Horrem because the goal difference was not enough.

The amateur football landscape is seeing some familiar faces in the regional league this year and a lot of movement in the lower leagues. It will be particularly interesting to see how the promoted and relegated teams perform in the coming season. torgranate.de regularly reports on developments in these leagues and will certainly keep us up to date.

The last match day once again showed how exciting amateur football can be. While Fliesteden can now celebrate, all that remains for FC Hürth is the realization that things can't go according to plan in sports either. And so the fans say: Here's to something new next season!
