Quite recently, I would imagine - the article is for a magazine that's about to be published in the next few weeks. The team has only just won the Bundesliga, so must have qualified (if Einzug does mean something like qualification) fairly recently too.
Sven Schröder May 28, 2009:
Servus,

looks like the author dropped something. "Über den Einzug in die Champions League" would make sense if the text deals with recent results.
Kim Metzger May 28, 2009:
Date? Any idea what date these events took place?

Direct qualification,S.u.

As an ex-Chelsea player ( long time ago) I would not be happy if I had just qualified for the Champions League, Stuttgart can qualify by winning thier qualification game, Wolfsburg and Bayern have qualified "directly". Direct qualification would mean that the team achieved the status on merit after 34 Bundesliga games without having to go into the qualification round.

As Kim pointed out I should have mentioned " direct qualification for the Champions league ( 2009 - 2010)"

Thanks Kim, quite unbelievable but Wolfsburg won the Bundesliga this season, Bayern were only second!!! Next year we can watch Wolfsburg against e.g. Barcelona , could be "fun".

3 KudoZ points awarded for this answer. Comment: "I was torn between using (direct) qualification and place, but direct qualification won out in the end as it seems that "direct" is quite an important part of it... Thanks too to everyone for pointing out that it was the Champions League that Wolfsburg had qualified for!"

qualification

Sounds like VfL Wolfsburg qualified for some championship or something similar.

For ex.: Einzug in die Meisterschaft, Einzug in die Bundesliga usw.

Grüße!

You'd need a little more context in order to flesh out the translation better.

Champions League place

I know it doesn't say 'Champions League' but 'place' alone sounds odd. They've recently made it into that competition so without further info maybe that's what it's on about.

Info

Champions League place secured
Wolfsburg - At the end of the penultimate match day of the season, VfL Wolfsburg had a further huge success to celebrate. Due to the draw between Hertha BSC Berlin and FC Schalke 04 (0-0), the side from the German capital can now no longer realistically make up the deficit to VfL Wolfsburg.

Wolfsburg getting ready to celebrate
Bayern, after only drawing 2-2 at Hoffenheim, are now officially dismissing their title chances, saying their chief concern is securing second place and direct Champions League qualification.
http://www.topnews.in/wolfsburg-getting-ready-celebrate-germ...

With 5:1 against Werder Bremen, the VfL Wolfsburg secured the first championship of the club's history. The direct qualification for the UEFA Champions League was left for the FC Bayern Munich with a 2-1 against VfB Stuttgart, who are finally on third spot. Hertha BSC Berlin and Hamburger SV will participate in the newly formed UEFA Europe League.
