Seitz: Lok Leipzig Misses Third‑League Promotion Again

Jochen Seitz expressed disappointment after Lok Leipzig failed to secure promotion to the 3. Liga, losing to Würzburger Kickers in the decisive playoff. The defeat marked the second consecutive season the side missed promotion. Lok Leipzig entered the playoff as league champions for the second year running, yet the two‑legged tie against Würzburger Kickers ended in defeat. The loss left the club still outside the professional third tier. Seitz said, "It hurts brutally, to be champion twice and not get promoted." The comment highlighted the emotional toll of repeated near‑misses. The coach indicated the squad will regroup and target promotion in the upcoming campaign. The club will aim to convert league titles into a place in the 3. Liga.
