Liga'' (III) and the ''Regionalliga West'' (IV) are directly qualified for the first round, the remaining places in the first round are filled with the teams who qualified from local cup competitions, the ''Kreispokale''.〔 Since the establishment of the 3. Liga in 2008, reserve teams can not take part in the German Cup or the Lower Rhine Cup anymore. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Lower Rhine Cup」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
