Wikipedia - Belgian National Division 1
The Belgian National Division 1, commonly referred to as simply Eerste Nationale in Dutch or Nationale 1 in French, is a semi-professional and the third-highest division in the Belgian football league system, one level below the Challenger Pro League. It was created by the Royal Belgian Football Association in 2016, coming in at the third level and pushing all divisions one level down. Until the 2019–20 season, it was known as the Belgian First Amateur Division, but was renamed due to the negative connotation of the word amateur.
History
The Belgian First Amateur Division was created in 2016 following an overhaul of the Belgian football league system which saw the number of professional clubs reduced to 24. As a result, from the third level and below only amateur clubs remain. The two remaining levels above the Belgian Provincial leagues were reformed into three amateur levels, namely the Belgian First Amateur Division, the Belgian Second Amateur Division and the Belgian Third Amateur Division. As a result, the Belgian Provincial Leagues dropped to the sixth level of the league system. In 2020 the levels were renamed to Belgian National Division 1, Belgian Division 2, and Belgian Division 3 respectively. In 2022–23, the league was expanded to 20 teams but reduce to 18 teams from 2023–24.
The tournament features a thrilling and intense competition among 16 teams, all vying for the coveted title of champions. These teams are carefully selected based on their performance in the previous season, ensuring that only the most deserving clubs participate in the tournament.

Many talented players have emerged from this tournament and gone on to have successful careers in both domestic and international football.
The matches are played in various stadiums across Belgium, creating a vibrant and electric atmosphere for both players and spectators. The tournament follows a round-robin format, where each team competes against every other team twice, once at home and once away. The team with the highest number of points at the end of the season is crowned the champions.
The level of competition in the Belgium First Amateur Division is incredibly high, with teams displaying exceptional tactical awareness, technical skills, and physical prowess. The matches are characterized by fast-paced action, strategic gameplay, and thrilling goals, making it a captivating experience for soccer enthusiasts.
The tournament not only promotes the growth and development of amateur soccer in Belgium but also fosters a sense of community and unity among fans and players alike.
