History of Dutch Eredivisie

From its inception in 1898 to 1954, the Dutch national football championship winner was decided through a play-offs system by several clubs, who had previously won regional league titles. Most of the Dutch professional players went abroad, mainly in the French League, after the disaster of 1953.

And those abroad players arranged a match with the French national team in Paris and won by 2-1. Though that match was refused by the KNVB, after winning the games, an interest in reform of professional football league was growing.

The league was founded in the 1954-55 season. KNVB met with the amateur club chairman on 3 July 1954, which led to the Association reluctantly approving semi-professionalism.

At the same time, KNVB and the NBVB started their separate competition. But after a merging and discussion, the new league accepted by the NBVBand KNVB stopped the regional league system.

And finally, in the 1956-57 season, the Eredivisie was established as the top level professional football competition of Netharland. The inaugural participants of the Eredivisie in 1956 were Ajax, BVV, DOS, EVV, BVC, Elinkwijk, Feijenoord, Fortuna '54, SC Enschede, GVAV, MVV, NAC, NOAD, PSV, VVV '03, Willem II, Rapid J.C, and Sparta.
