Vijfde Klasse

Last updated

The Vijfde Klasse (English: Fifth Class) is the tenth and lowest tier of football in the Netherlands and the eighth tier of Dutch amateur football. The league is divided into 37 divisions, 5 played on Saturday and 32 on Sunday.

Each division consists of 11 to 14 teams. The champions are promoted to the Vierde Klasse. [1] Each season is divided into a number of periods (Dutch : periodes). The winner of these periods qualify for promotion playoffs, provided they finish in the top nine overall in the season. Because the Vijfde Klasse is the lowest football tier, no teams are relegated or play relegation playoffs.

The Dutch football league system consists of two fully professional leagues and eight levels of amateur football leagues, the highest of which is called Tweede Divisie, formerly Topklasse. All the leagues are connected by a promotion and relegation system, but in order to be promoted to the Eerste Divisie a club has to submit a solid business plan to be approved by the Royal Dutch Football Association, as well as meet certain stadium demands, and some other demands that the association stated for all the teams in the top two leagues. That way it was possible that the IJsselmeervogels won the 2010–11 Topklasse, but was not promoted, because they did not want to be bound to these demands. FC Oss was promoted instead. The association obliges every team from the two fully professional leagues to contract 16 players full-time, in order to keep these leagues fully professional. In 2016 Tweede Divisie was reintroduced as the top amateur level and placed between the Eerste Divisie and the Derde Divisie.
