FC Saarbrücken.{{cite web |url=https://www.worldfootball.net/report/3-liga-2021-2022-tsv-havelse-1-fc-saarbruecken/ |title=Germany » 3. Liga 2021/2022 » 1. Round » TSV Havelse – 1. FC Saarbrücken |work=WorldFootball.net |date=24 July 2021 |access-date=24 July 2021}}

After TSV Havelse was relegated, Meien signed with VfR Aalen in the Regionalliga Südwest ahead of the 2022–23 season, signing a contract until June 2024.{{cite web |title=Vico Meien wechselt zum VfR Aalen |url=https://www.vfr-aalen.de/aktuelles/news/news-details/artikel/vico-meien-wechselt-zum-vfr-aalen/ |website=VfR Aalen 1921 e.V. |access-date=11 September 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220702091143/https://www.vfr-aalen.de/aktuelles/news/news-details/artikel/vico-meien-wechselt-zum-vfr-aalen/ |archive-date=2 July 2022 |language=de |date=23 June 2022}} He immediately became a regular starter and helped the team fight against relegation. While Aalen narrowly avoided relegation in his first season, they finished in a relegation position at the end of the 2023–24 campaign. Despite this, the season ended on a positive note when Aalen won the 2023–24 Württemberg Cup (Verbandspokal) by defeating SG Sonnenhof Großaspach 4–1 in the final, securing qualification for the 2024–25 DFB-Pokal.{{cite news |title=4:1 in Aspach – der VfR Aalen gewinnt den DB Regio-wfv-Pokal 2023/24 |url=https://www.wuerttfv.de/news/41-in-aspach-der-vfr-aalen-gewinnt-den-db-regio-wfv-pokal-2023-24/ |access-date=11 September 2024 |work=Württembergischer Fußballverband e.V. |date=25 May 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240911184003/https://www.wuerttfv.de/news/41-in-aspach-der-vfr-aalen-gewinnt-den-db-regio-wfv-pokal-2023-24/ |archive-date=11 September 2024 |language=de-DE}}

Following the expiration of his contract, Meien left Aalen after 75 total appearances and joined Stuttgarter Kickers, who had finished second in the Regionalliga Südwest in 2024.{{cite web |title=Erste Neuverpflichtung für die Kickers |url=https://www.stuttgarter-kickers.de/aktuelles/news/2024/06/erste-neuverpflichtung-fur-die-kickers |website=Stuttgarter Kicker |access-date=11 September 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240606132433/https://www.stuttgarter-kickers.de/aktuelles/news/2024/06/erste-neuverpflichtung-fur-die-kickers |archive-date=6 June 2024 |language=de |date=5 June 2024}}
