Teams

Wikipedia - Belgian Division 1

The Belgian Division 1 is a semi-professional division and the third-highest division in the Belgian football league system, one level below the Challenger Pro League. It was created by the Royal Belgian Football Association in 2016, coming in at the third level and pushing all divisions one level down. Initially it was known as the Belgian First Amateur Division, but due to the negative connotation of the word amateur the league was renamed to Belgian National Division 1 from the 2019–20 season onwards. Then, from the 2024–25 season, a split was made into two separate divisions, with the teams holding a Flemish license and those playing with a Francophone license now playing in separate divisions within the league. The Flemish division consists of 16 teams and is referred to as the Eerste Afdeling VV, the Francophone division only contains 12 teams and is called Division 1 ACFF.

History

The Belgian First Amateur Division was created in 2016 following an overhaul of the Belgian football league system which saw the number of professional clubs reduced to 24. As a result, from the third level and below only amateur clubs remain. The two remaining levels above the Belgian Provincial leagues were reformed into three amateur levels, namely the Belgian First Amateur Division, the Belgian Second Amateur Division and the Belgian Third Amateur Division. As a result, the Belgian Provincial Leagues dropped to the sixth level of the league system.

In 2020, the levels were renamed to Belgian National Division 1, Belgian Division 2 and Belgian Division 3 respectively.

In 2022–23, the league was temporarily expanded to 20 teams but reduced again to 18 teams from 2023–24.

From the 2024–25 season, the league was expanded to 28 teams but split into two separate divisions of 16 (Flemish) and 12 (Francophone) teams.

The Belgium First Amateur Division, also known as the Belgian Second Amateur Division, is a prominent football league in Belgium that serves as a key stepping stone within the country's football pyramid. Established to provide competitive opportunities for semi-professional and amateur clubs, the division features a diverse array of teams vying for promotion to higher tiers of Belgian football. The league is organized into multiple regional groups, fostering local rivalries and community engagement. Known for its passionate supporters and developing talent, the Belgium First Amateur Division plays a crucial role in nurturing future professional players and maintaining the vibrant football culture across Belgium.
