Dominique Jourdan (Bayern Alzenau | Germany)

I don't know for ricki but for sure chris milicich knows him. He played 77 minutes again in midfield in last fc darmstadt game and had an assist on the third goal

Seriously?

That's the 5th tier of German football and aren't their something like 11 5th tiers in the regional leagues at that level?

It's the equivalent of the English Conference divided by 11 in a nation who's depth traditionally drops off significantly below the Bundesliga.

I'd be happy to know he's nowhere near Ricki's radar until he's playing at a credible level.  This is German Pub football.

Tittle of this thread should be changed to SV Viktoria Aschaffenburg

Jourdan has been transfered last week to bayern alzenau which is a higher level than hessenliga.

Pub football.

Except that at that level it's not all professional and there isn't just one division at this level there are five. Alzenau have just won promotion to this level.

So it's kind of the 4th tier but it's also the 8th tier. Pub Football.

The Regionalliga Südwest is the best/second best of the "4th tier leagues", because this is are more districts in one league, but Bayern Alzenau is a worse club. The best for Jordan is only that he have a good promotion place for higher leagues and clubs.   

They are at the very bottom of one of five divisions in the 4th tier.

Would we follow a kiwi playing for Rushall Olympic or North Ferriby United?

At the top end.

If it was 1 division maybe but we're talking a side that got promoted into the level this season having yo-yod previously.

Pub Football.

+1

Pub football maybe not.. but it's probably not much higher than the Central Premier League! 

Yeah.  I'm just being patronising. 

He should probably go on the Youngsters outside the A-League thread or whatever instead of his own thread these days though as at this level he's unlikely to be on any radars here.

The 21-year-old central defender Dominique Jourdan comes from FCA Darmstadt to Prischoß. The 1.95 meters tall, talented defender would make in Alzenau next step in his development and contribute its share to the league.

Hasn t played a single minute for fc bayern alzenau who are still in the relegation zone of Regionalliga Südwest

So currently with SV Viktoria 06 Griesheim? This guy changes clubs more than I change my undies!

http://www.fupa.net/spieler/dominique-jourdan-45161.html

Gee, only stayed at Fc Eddersheim one month and now at Sc Viktoria 06 Griesheim in the Hessenliga.

Hessenliga (Wiki): "The Hessenliga (until 2008 Oberliga Hessen) is the highest football league in the state of Hesse and the Hessian football league system. It is one of fourteen Oberligas in German football, the fifth tier of the German football league system. Until the introduction of the 3. Liga in 2008 it was the fourth tier of the league system, until the introduction of the Regionalligas in 1994 the third tier."

The "Regionalligas" are the fourth tier and there are five - North, North East, West, South West and Bayern (Bavaria) , covering larger areas than the local state leagues like the Hessenliga.

I suspect that some of the teams like FSV Frankfurt's reserve team would be considerably better than teams in say our top regional leagues. After all FSV Frankfurt narrowly missed promotion to the 1. Bundesliga in May, finishing fourth in the 2. Bundesliga.

Table: http://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/en/hessenliga/startseite/wettbewerb_OBLC.html

His team sit ninth in the 19 team league but are not far off fifth spot.

This league is the top league in the state of Hesse and includes reserve teams of: FSV Frankfurt from the 2. Bundesliga (second tier Germany), SV Wehen Wiesbaden from 3. Bundesliga and Kickers Offenbach (a large club with a 21,000 capacity stadium relegated from 3. Bundesliga to a regional league in May for bankruptcy but usually a 2nd or 3rd tier team).

been telling my cousin to move and play here but I don't think he will he says Germany training is still better even if he is in a development team. :-(

How does he know that the training at that level is better than in NZ?

BTW how does Dominique qualify to play for NZ?
