What are the Top Football Competitions in The Netherlands?
Whilst they were one of the earliest nations to participate in the global organisation of the sport, the Netherlands were a little later to the table when it came to the professionalising of the game. They have however now boasted a professional structure since 1954 – including their own league and cup competitions.
- Eredivisie: Translated as the “Honour Division” or “Premier Division”, this is the top rung on the league ladder in the Netherlands. Made up of the best eighteen clubs in the country, the league sees sides play each other home and away over the course of a 34 game season. In addition to the famous trophy, the Eredivisie also provides places in both the Champion’s League and Europa League, whilst at the bottom end, the two lowest placed sides face relegation to.
- Eerste Divisie: Containing 20 teams, resulting in a 38-game season of home and away fixtures, the top two sides in Dutch football’s second tier are rewarded with promotion to the Eredivisie, with the bottom two clubs going down to the Tweede Divisie.
- FKNVB Cup: Modelled on England’s FA Cup, this is the biggest knockout competition in the Netherlands. Often referred to simply as the “Dutch Cup”, the tournament is open to all sides in the top three divisions and 24 amateur qualifiers.
- The National Team: Variously refereed to as The Netherlands, Holland or “Oranje” as a nod to one of the most instantly recognisable strips in the world game, the Netherlands are a regular feature of the latter stages of the major international competitions, and currently compete in the World Cup, European Championship’s and UEFA Nation’s League.

Who are the biggest teams in Dutch Football?
- Ajax: Taking their name from a legendary Greek hero who was said to tower above his rivals, Ajax Amsterdam have followed suit on the Dutch footballing scene. Boasting more Eredivisie and KNVB Cup triumphs than any other side, in addition to an impressive four European Cup/Champion’s League successes, the side from the capital are the biggest team in the country.
- Feyenoord: The team who call the famous De Kuip (The Tub) Stadium their home, are the biggest side in the Netherland’s second most populous city – Rotterdam. Winners of both the European Cup and UEFA Cup during their glory years, Feyenoord also have 15 Eredivisie trophies in the cabinet.
- PSV Eindhoven: In common with both Ajax and Feyenoord, Philips Sport Vereniging Eindhoven, or just PSV for short, also play in red and white – in their case vertical stripes. Together with the Amsterdam and Rotterdam sides, PSV make up the traditional big three in the country, and lie only behind Ajax in terms of Eredivisie titles, with 24 to their name.
- AZ Alkmaar: Located to the North West of Amsterdam, the side affectionately known as the Cheeseheads, have a loyal fan base and are the most recent side to upset the big three - lifting the Eredivisie title in 2008/09.
- ADO Den Haag: Alles Door Oefening (Everything Through Practice) Den Haag, are the major side from the political and Royal hub of The Hague. Whilst hailing from one of the biggest cities in the country and boasting a passionate following, ADO haven’t achieved anything like the success of the big three clubs, with just two Eredivisie titles – and none since 1942/43.
- FC Groningen: The Green and White Army of FC Groningen are one of the biggest and most popular sides hailing from the north of the Netherlands, hence their nickname the “Pride of the North”. A relatively new club, having only been founded in 1971, Groningen are regularly one of the biggest clubs outside of the top three.
Which are the Top Derbies in Dutch Football?
There are many excellent fixtures to look forward to over the course of the Dutch season, with some of the most eagerly anticipated being the derby games which are spiced up by a historical or local rivalry.
- De Klassieker (Ajax vs Feyenoord): Amsterdam and Rotterdam are the two biggest cities in the Netherlands, and not only are Ajax and Feyenoord the biggest footballing sides from those respective cities, they are also two of the most successful teams in the history of the Dutch game. There is no love lost when these two clash!
- De Topper (Ajax vs PSV Eindhoven): Traditionally not as heated as De Klassiker, this matchup between two of the games big three has nevertheless become increasingly fierce in recent years. With sixteen Eredivisie titles between them since the turn of the century, there tends to be a lot on the line when Ajax do battle with PSV.
- Rotterdam Derby (Feyenoord vs Sparta Rotterdam): In addition to their rivalry with Ajax; Feyenoord also take part in this intense local derby fixture against fellow Rotterdam side Sparta. With Feyenoord being the vastly more successful outfit, this rivalry is mainly based upon history. Traditionally Sparta have been seen as the more aristocratic club, with Feyenoord being the team of the working classes - leading to an at times fierce battle of the classes.
- IJsselderby (Go Ahead Eagles vs PEC Zwolle): Both located along the banks of the Ijssel river and separated by only around 21-miles, the contest between Go Ahead Eagles and PEC Zwolle has developed into one of the most ill-tempered fixtures in the Dutch game. Only really taking off when the sides met in the Eerste Divisie in the 1990’s, it hasn’t taken long for local passions to ignite the flames.
- Derby of the North (FC Groningen vs SC Heerenveen): Another rivalry which came to a boil in the 1990’s is this clash between the two largest clubs in the north of the country. Seen to represent the provinces of Groningen and Friesland respectively, and both being regulars in the top flight, there is a large amount of northern pride at stake when these two lock horns.
Who are Dutch Football’s Most Famous Players?
The Dutch footballing system is famed for producing some of the most technically gifted and tactically aware players in the world, and has given the game a number of real superstars over the years. Honourable mentions go to Frank Rijkaard, Ruud van Nistelrooy, Robin van Persie, Edwin van der Sar and Ronald Koeman, but below are our picks for the top five.
- Johan Cruyff: The unanimous choice as the greatest Dutch footballer of all time – and the inventor of the famous “Cruyff Turn” – Johan was a legend at Ajax, Barcelona and for the national team. Three-time winner of the Ballon d’Or, Cruyff was one of the most graceful and talented forwards to ever lace up a pair of boots. Ajax’s home ground is now named in his honour.
- Dennis Bergkamp: Another must for this list is a player who possessed one of the best first touches in the game – Arsenal legend, Dennis Bergkamp. Like Cruyff, Bergkamp was also a graduate of the Ajax academy, but it was at Arsenal where he really made his name. Three times a winner of the Premier League and excellent for the national side, there are many who rate him as the greatest ever Arsenal player.
- Ruud Gullit: A powerful and technically gifted midfield or forward player, Gullit was a driving force and goal threat for Feyenoord and PSV in his home country, before moving on to spend the best years of his career at AC Milan. A dual European Cup winner with the Serie A side, he also captained the Netherlands to their European Championship success in 1988.
- Marco van Basten: The most lethal frontman the Netherlands has ever produced, Van Basten was a three-time league winner at both Ajax and AC Milan, in addition to winning the Ballon d’Or on three occasions. Also a part of the 1988 European Championship winning side, his volley against the Soviet Union in the final is one of the sports most replayed goals.
- Virgil van Dijk: Beginning his career at Groningen, van Dijk moved on to Celtic and Southampton before Liverpool splashed a world record transfer fee for a defender to take him to Anfield. A towering presence at the back, brilliant reader of the game and a threat in the opposition box, van Dijk was one of the key players in leading Liverpool to Champion’s League glory.
