district league
'Kreisliga' and 'Bezirksklasse' are both sports divisions. They can be confused because both are regional leagues and sound similarly official. The difference lies in the level: the 'Kreisliga' refers to a Kreis (district/county), while the 'Bezirksklasse' refers to a larger Bezirk (district/region). In the league hierarchy, the Bezirksklasse is usually above the Kreisliga, but below the Bezirksliga. So for correct usage, it is important to know whether the word refers to the Kreis or the Bezirk.
