debundesliga1-1, Exercise 1: DFB and DFL

Model answer:

The DFB (Deutscher Fussball-Bund) is the national association that governs the game as a whole: the national teams, the cup, the rules and the amateur and youth levels. The DFL (Deutsche Fussball Liga) is the organisation that runs the Bundesliga and the 2. Bundesliga on behalf of the clubs, handling licensing, scheduling and media rights.

In short, the DFB looks after the whole sport and the DFL looks after the professional leagues. The exact split of duties should be checked.
