MSV Duisburg won promotion to the Bundesliga for the 2007–08 season by way of a third place finish in the 2. Fußball-Bundesliga, behind Karlsruher SC and Hansa Rostock. The MSV defeated Rot-Weiss Essen in a dramatic contest on the last day of the season by three goals to none, which secured their promotion for the fifth time in the last two decades while relegating Essen. However, the club fared poorly in top flight play and was again relegated after an 18th place result. In 2008–09 they focused on the re-promotion, but although they lost under their new coach Peter Neururer only two times und were unbeaten in 12 matches since his taking office they missed the promotion. The next season they focused on the promotion again, but after a 0–5 disgrace in the DFB-Pokal against Augsburg, Peter Neururer got sacked. On 2 November 2009, Milan Šašić was presented as new coach. The Croat became the third foreign coach in the club history. They finished the season like the previous one as 6th.
Eintracht Braunschweig's consistently high standard of play and financial stability helped it to become one of the sixteen teams selected out of a group of forty-six applicants for play in the Bundesliga, the new federal professional league formed in 1963. Once again the side enjoyed early success, capturing the national title in the 1966–67 season with solid defensive play. That championship team gave up only 27 goals against, which stood as a Bundesliga record until bettered by Werder Bremen in 1988. The club just missed a second title in 1977 when they finished third, one point back of champion Borussia Mönchengladbach and just behind second place finisher Schalke 04 on goal difference. Another ten players joined the national side from the team, mostly through the 60's and 70's.The last 10 years Eintracht Braunschweig moved constantly between the 2. Bundesliga and the 3. Liga/Regionalliga. The team most recently were promoted after the 2010–11 3rd Liga campaign, permitting them to re-enter 2. Bundesliga in 2011–12.
