FC Ingolstadt: Test match against Eichstätt planned for social project!

The duel kicks off at 6:30 p.m. and promises exciting moments as FC Ingolstadt prepares for the coming season. Danube Courier reports that SV Karlshuld has been awarded the contract to host the game. A nice side effect: the entry fees go to a social project in the region, which further enhances the event.

A look at the regional league
The Regionalliga plays an important role in German football and has formed the foundation of the Bundesliga since 1963. The league is currently divided into five seasons: Bavaria, North, Northeast, Southwest and West. Kicker has reported that a push by the North East club is planning to reduce the number of relays from five to four. This restructuring would mark the sixth since the league's inception and could have far-reaching effects on the competitive structure.
There have already been several changes over the past few decades to make the league more economically sustainable. One of the most significant steps was the introduction of direct promotion places, which have existed for the Southwest and West relays since 2019. Fan interest and sporting competitiveness are always the focus, and the discussions about a further reduction in the number of relays show that there is still a lot of movement in the system.
FC Ingolstadt fans should note July 1st in their calendars to support their team in the friendly and at the same time take a look at the competition from the regional league. A good hand in such games could be the key to the challenges that await the team in the coming season.
