On Tuesday, May 12, 2026, the promotions and reclassifications for the coming season were decided at the meeting of the NOFV Referee Committee.

NOFV-Regionalliga and NOFV-Oberliga

Julius Hanft has been promoted to the NOFV-Regionalliga. The 20-year-old referee has thus made the leap to the regional league after two seasons in the NOFV-Oberliga. Julius has been a referee for the BFV since 2019 and has been extremely successful in the development programs of the Junior Performance Squad (JLK) and the Team Performance Squad (TLK).

Anton Winter was classified in the NOFV-Oberliga. He has also been working as a referee since 2019 and completed the JLK development program and is currently a member of the TLK. The 22-year-old has been officiating matches in the men's Berlin League since 2022 and was able to recommend himself for promotion this season thanks to very good observations.

Tom Rösler was also promoted to the NOFV-Oberliga. Tom already played in the NOFV-Oberliga in the 2022/23 season. After two very successful seasons in the Berlin League, he has now been able to recommend himself again for match management at supra-regional level.
