This was reported by the Football Association on Wednesday. It involves Almere City FC, Brabant United (a combination of RKC Waalwijk and FC Den Bosch), De Graafschap, FC Groningen Sparta Rotterdam, FC Utrecht Vitesse, FC Volendam, AZ and Achilles ’29.
The teams will play starting from the 2016-2017 season at the new National Division. That competition between the Jupiler League and the top class must provide a flow between the amateur and the paid clubs.
Young PSV, Ajax and FC Twente are already active since 2013 in the first division, which from 2017 for the first structurally clubs can degrade.
“This is another step towards improving the future of Dutch football,” explains a spokesperson of the KNVB.
“The number of registrations shows that the clubs recognize value of an open competition structure, in which the best players of Netherlands football against each other, without being hampered by an artificial division between top- and sport.”
Feyenoord had previously know nothing to see in joining the National Division. It is according to technical director Martin van Geel too expensive. Feyenoord prefers adorning a good promise competition.
VVV and Helmond Sport also want a joint pledge team in that league. Several teams from the Jupiler League have requested dispensation for setting a second team.
The KNVB had space for the existing 22 teams promise and regrets that a big club like Feyenoord has dropped out. The union will now work out where teams can have a place in the new competitions.
Those places are determined by the classification of clubs in the current promise league next season.
