Part of this agreement was that no promotion or relegation took place between the Eerste and Tweede Divisie for the 2017–18 season at first.
[1] At another extraordinary KNVB meeting on 7 June 2018, an agreement was reached about the number of reserves teams allowed in each division as of the 2019–20 season and the extension of the non-promotion or relegation clause to initially two more seasons.
[3] In the previous season, on 31 March 2020, the KNVB decided to cancel all competitions at amateur level.
They also decided, for those competitions involved, there would be no final standings, and therefore no champions, no promotions and no relegations.
[5] On 24 February 2021, the KNVB eventually discontinued ongoing category A senior competitions, from Tweede Divisie and below, again without promotion or relegation.
