Claim: Sportfreunde Köllerbach, which played as an unheralded local side until 2002, was promoted to the Verbandsliga Saarland, the seventh tier of the German football league system, and was qualified to the Oberliga Sudwest, which was renamed as Oberliga Rheinland-Pfalz/Saar in 2012.
Evidence: The club was founded in 1931 and played as an unheralded local side until breaking through to the Verbandsliga Saarland (V) in 2002 on the strength of a Landesliga Südwest (VI) title. Köllerbach enjoyed continued success on promotion to the Verbandsliga Saarland, immediately winning their way to the Oberliga Südwest (IV). The Verbandsliga Saarland is currently the seventh tier of the German football league system in the German federated state of Saarland. In 2012, the Regionalliga Süd was replaced by the Regionalliga Südwest and the league was renamed Oberliga Rheinland-Pfalz/Saar to avoid confusion, but little else changed for the Oberliga otherwise.
