A German team from the tiny town of Elversberg are unawed as they bid to become the smallest club in Bundesliga history ahead of Thursday’s playoff first leg at top-flight Heidenheim.
Elversberg
Elversberg finished behind Cologne and Hamburg, both of whom won automatic promotion from the second tier, and face Heidenheim, who ended the season third from bottom in the Bundesliga, for a place in the top flight.
Promoted to the second division for the first time two seasons ago, Elversberg are from a town with a population of just 13,000.
The population of both Elversberg and Heidenheim would fit into the stadium for Bayern Munich.
It has barely the population of Birdsboro, Pa. It is A town I once lived that was wiped out by the flood of 1972.
Elversberg ist einer von zwei Ortsteilender saarländischen Gemeinde Spiesen-Elversberg im Landkreis Neunkirchen und ist rund 15 Kilometer nordöstlich von Saarbrücken gelegen. 2010 hatte der Ortsteil 7.415 Einwohner.[1]

This is why I enjoy European soccer.
