District Cup Heinsberg: Top teams miss Meldfrist!

District Cup Heinsberg: Top teams miss Meldfrist!

In the Heinsberg football circle, some clubs face the problem that they could not report in time for the second edition of the district cup. As a result, some of the strongest teams will not participate. FC Wegberg-Beeck and Union Schafhausen do not have to take part in the district cup II of the current Middle Rhine League teams, since they are automatically qualified for the 2025/2026 association cup. This opens an interesting opportunity for other teams who want to prove themselves in the local league.

The registration period missed

"Helpenstein, Geilenkirchen and Klinkum documented their interest after the registration deadline," said Stefan Cüster, the chairman of the game committee and the cup game manager. He added that the registration period had been considered to be extended. However, association employees were advised against it, since the risk of legal disputes with other associations that had reported on time were too high. This questions the fairness of the competition and shows how important it is to keep deadlines.

Particularly bitter for the teams concerned is that the teams have done everything to express their participation. Helpenstein wanted to ask for a participant permit, which, according to Cüster, could no longer be given. "The clubs also had the opportunity to apply for sports court decisions against the publication of the field of participants, but they did not make this application," said Cüster and pointed out that the draw is now legally valid.

legal draw and additional clarification

The publication of the field of participants was inevitable, and the district board decided not to change the procedure. Despite the written statements of interested clubs, the hustle and bustle for the message was unsuccessful. A club member of Ay-Yildizspor had also noted that their report was also forgotten on time. However, no official communication from the club page was received.

The predicament of these clubs once again shows how crucial the organization and compliance with deadlines in football are. It remains to be seen what effects this will have on the performance of the teams concerned in the coming season. You will now have to take the opportunity to successfully cut off in your leagues and to advertise other ways in order to avoid such missteps in the future.
