Elsflether TB celebrates surprising promotion to the national league despite defeat!

An exciting season lies ahead for the Elsflether TB, which is promoted to the national table tennis league, even if this success was not achieved without any detours. Despite a defeat in the decisive relegation game, the team gets the chance to prove itself in the new league. [nwzonline] reports this pleasing rise, which can be attributed to the league division for the 2025/2026 season. Team captain Dominik Felker describes his own team as underdogs and emphasizes that the focus will be on having fun in the game - an attitude that should not be underestimated in the dynamic world of table tennis.

The team remains with the same lineup as last season, aware that on paper it might appear weaker than its competitors. The goal for the season is clear: staying in the league. A special highlight will be the only derby against Orcas Oldenburg, which the fans will be eagerly awaiting. In addition, the ETB reserve team will compete in the district league, while the switch from teams of six to teams of four will affect the structure of the 1st and 2nd district leagues.

Competitive structure of the leagues

Let's think about the competitive structure for a moment. 14 teams are competing in the 1st district class Oldenburg-Stadt/Wesermarsch. New is the Tischtennis-Fortuna Oldenburg 25 team, which has separated from TuS Eversten. In the 2nd district class Oldenburg/Wesermarsch six teams are fighting for points, including the relegated Blexer TB as well as the promoted TTG Lemwerder/Warfleth and the third team Elsflether TB.

In the women's division, Elsflether TB will compete in the state league as the highest-ranking team in the Wesermarsch. However, they have to cope with the departure of two important players, Jayke Janssen and Katja Schneider. The latter will now play in the men's district league team. The ETB's second team was deregistered from the district league, which also means a change.

Future outlook and contact information

There are some important details about the team in terms of the club organization. The Elsflether TB was founded in 1862. The club is registered under the club number 4504100 and its venues are mainly located in the first gymnasium of the Alte Straße primary school in Elsfleth. If you have any questions, you can contact the club chairman Heinz-Hermann Buse on 04404 2593. [mytischtennis] points out that technical problems may occasionally occur during the season transition period. Patience is required here until the new schedules are published.

In Germany, table tennis leagues are managed by the German Table Tennis Federation (DTTB), which promotes tension and a competitive spirit - from the Bundesliga to regional leagues. [table tennis table] describes that the competition structure allows players to constantly improve and take on new challenges. The potential of the Elsfleth players will become apparent in the coming months, and the entire region is looking forward to the developments of the coming season.
