The Belgium national football team started their qualification campaign, winning 5 matches easily but needing a last minute equalizer at home against Greece to remain undefeated.

Oostende qualified for the first time for European football while Westerlo was relegated at the bottom end of the table.

Therefore, Lierse, who scored the most points overall, did not qualify for the promotion play-offs which were instead played by Roeselare and Antwerp.

Initially, they did not receive a license to compete in professional football the following season, but the decision was overturned.

In spite of a strong comeback, Lommel United was relegated finally on the last matchday after losing away to OH Leuven.
