Below you find a regionwise analysis of the Dutch league - which regions provided how many teams to the league, and titles won per region.
Information is prepared as follows:
- Name of the region (province) in Dutch.
- Population (2007, rounded to thousands).
- The number of participations in the national championship playoffs by teams
from the region, and between brackets the number of championships won, from
1898 to 1956.
From 1898 to 1950 the title was decided in a playoff between the winners of
2 to 6 regional leagues;
from 1950 to 1954 the title was decided in a playoff between the winners of
4 or 5 less strictly regionalised leagues;
in 1954/55 (the first season of professional football in the Netherlands)
the title was decided in a playoff between the winners of 4 'eerste klasses';
in 1955/56 the title was decide in a playoff between the top-2 of 2 'hoofd-
klasses'.
The emergency wartime championships of 1914/15 (won by Sparta in a playoff
against Vitesse) and 1939/40 (won by Feijenoord in a playoff ahead of Blauw
Wit, Heracles, Juliana and GVAV) are included.
In 1944/45 no championship was organised; in total 58 championships were
awarded in this period.
- Eredivisie: in 1956/57, a national first division, 'eredivisie' was set up
for the first time. For each club, the number of seasons in the eredivisie
from 1956/57 to 2015/16 (maximally 60) is indicated first, the number of
championships won from 1956/57 to 2014/15 (59 in all) is then given
between brackets.
In addition, for each region, all other teams that ever played professional
football within the KNVB are listed (the abandoned NBVB competition of 1954
is not included, and neither are those clubs that started the 1954/55 KNVB
amateur leagues and disappeared (usually through mergers) after the KNVB and
NBVB leagues merged) - so those clubs that never reached the 'eredivisie'.
This is done because there were never more than 3 professional levels (2
after the major league reform of 1971, when many clubs merged and others
forced out of the league), and Dutch professional football is essentially
'closed shop': no systematic promotion/relegation system from the amateur
ranks has ever existed except for the sixties. From time to time, clubs
disappear either voluntarily or through bankruptcy, and only occasionally
new clubs are voted in. Since the 2009/10 season, the bottom club(s) of
the second level Eerste Divisie are to be relegated to the third level
Topklasse, but due to a general lack of interest in promotion and the
regular disappearance of clubs due to bankruptcy, this relegation out of
the professional level has only been effective once (FC Oss 2010) and
the club in question returned after one year. Because of this, the KNVB
controversially decided to admit three youth teams (Jong Ajax, Jong PSV
and Jong FC Twente) to the second level for the 2013/14 season.
For all clubs that do not exist anymore, the reason and year of their
disappearance is given. There are 5 distinct reasons: bankruptcy,
merger, relegation, (voluntary) withdrawal, and finally forced removal
because of the 1971 reform.
- Totals: for each club, the sum of participations in either championship
playoffs (until 1956) and eredivisie (since 1956) as well as the total
number of Dutch championships (if any) is given.
- For all clubs founded by merger, all constituent clubs are treated as
distinct entities, with the data of the merger given in the note(s) at
the end of the regional overview. The first club given (A as in A merged
with B to form C) is the one whose league position was taken by the merger
club.
There are three exceptions to this:
1) the clubs DWS and DWS/A (the latter a merger of DWS and bvc Amsterdam
which later reverted to the name DWS) are considered as one entity;
2) the club FC Amsterdam as formed by the merger of DWS and Blauw Wit
and the same formed by the later inclusion of De Volewijckers are
considered as one entity;
3) the clubs Dordrecht '90 and SVV/Dordrecht '90 (the latter a merger of
Dordrecht '90 and SVV which took the league position of SVV but played
at Dordrecht and after 1 season reverted to the name Dordrecht '90)
are considered as one entity.
All clubs that went through name changes are considered the same entity
even if juridically they were not (e.g. PEC, PEC Zwolle, PEC Zwolle '82,
FC Zwolle). These name changes are not listed exhaustively.
At the bottom of the page, regionwise statistical summaries are presented.
