Eredivisie (women)
The Vrouwen Eredivisie (Dutch pronunciation: [ˈeːrədiˌvizi]) (Dutch for Honor Division, Eredivisie Vrouwen before 2020), also known as the Azerion Eredivisie Vrouwen due to a 3 year sponsor contract starting from the 2022–2023 season, is the highest women's football league in the Netherlands. Organized by the Royal Dutch Football Association (KNVB) it was established in 2007 as a professional league and played for five seasons until 2012 when the leagues of the Netherlands and Belgium merged forming a single combined league (BeNe League). After three seasons the BeNe League folded and the Eredivisie was restarted in the 2015–16 season. The top 2 teams receive a spot in the UEFA Women's Champions League.
