The idea of ??combining the championships of the Netherlands and Belgium has been considered for a long time, but earlier European football bodies, including former UEFA president Michel Platini, opposed.

Now, given the widening gap between the economic level of the Belgian and Dutch clubs with the top five clubs in Europe, the possibility of unification is different..

According to a British source, INews, in general, the Belgian and Dutch football federations are in favor of unification, but its implementation requires the support of each of the top division clubs of the two countries. It is likely that many clubs, especially small ones, will not want to join the union, not wanting to lose a place in the top division..

At the same time, combining two championships into one stronger league will increase the attractiveness of Belgian and Dutch football and will make it possible to get much more profit from TV broadcasts and advertising.. In addition, the clubs will be easier to get more famous players, because for most, this idea will still be very interesting..

At the moment, the project is at the initial stage, but in the near future it can begin to be actively implemented..
