How does the Dutch “Eredivisie” work?
The Eredivisie (“Honor Division”) is the top tier of Dutch professional football, founded in 1956 and contested by 18 clubs each season. The league has been historically dominated by Ajax (Amsterdam), PSV (Eindhoven), and Feyenoord (Rotterdam), nicknamed the Big Three. Smaller-city clubs like AZ, Twente, Vitesse, Utrecht, and Sparta periodically break into the top three, and the league has produced Dutch football icons including Cruijff, Van Basten, Bergkamp, Robben, and recent generations of national-team players.
In this clip, PSV clinches the title after Feyenoord’s 0-0 draw: “PSV is kampioen en dus gingen in Eindhoven veel mensen de straat op.”
