Wolfsburg relegated from Bundesliga for first time in club history

VfL Wolfsburg have been relegated from the Bundesliga for the first time in the club's history, Tagesschau reported on Sunday.

The Lower Saxony side lost 1-2 to SC Paderborn after extra time in the second leg of the relegation play-off, ending their top-flight status. SC Paderborn will take Wolfsburg's place in the Bundesliga next season.

The result marks a landmark moment in German football, with Wolfsburg — a club that had never previously faced the prospect of second-tier football — now confirmed for the 2. Bundesliga.

SC Paderborn, by contrast, secured their return to the top flight with the victory, completing a turnaround celebrated across the Westphalian city.
