The DFB-Bundestag convenes regularly every three years. The term of office for DFB presidential board and executive board is also three years. The national conference is composed of a total of 259 voting delegates, including members of the presidential board and executive board, the delegates of the state and regional associations of the DFB and the Deutsche Fußball Liga members. Additionally the honorary members and the members of the judiciary bodies, the statutory auditors and the committees, also participate as advisory capacity.[1]

The national conference can make decisions if at least half of the voters are present. For the elections of the steering committe and the executive board, a simple casting of majority vote is sufficient for the decision. For amendments to the statutes a two-thirds majority is required.[2]
