On this day in 1990, a few days after the German reunification, the Deutscher Fußball-Verband der DDR (DFV) was dissolved and in its place the North East German Football Association (NOFV) was formed.
The NOFV was incorporated into the Deutscher Fußball-Bund (DFB) – German football’s premier governing body. The DFB was founded in 1900 but disbanded after the Second World War. It was reformed in 1950 but represented only West Germany. East Germany, of course, was represented by the DFV.
Dynamo Dresden and Hansa Rostock were the two clubs from East Germany that joined the top flight following the merger of the two football associations.
