Lokomotiv Leipzig was champion in 1903, 1906 and 1913
Regional football club Lokomotive Leipzig will be allowed to wear a championship star on their jersey from the coming season.
The German Football Association (DFB) approved the application on Friday. The traditional club had won the German championship in 1903, 1906 and 1913.
For a long time, the question of which club these titles can be attributed to was not clearly clarified. Already five years ago there were first ambitions in the direction of the champion star, but at that time there were two separate clubs, VfB Leipzig and Lokomotive Leipzig, which could refer to the same roots. Only with the merger of the two into one club in July 2021 were the requirements of the DFB met.
