Cross-border Leagues Ep.1: The Netherlands and Belgium...
A combined NED/BEL league has been talked about since the 90s and the BeneLiga, as it was dubbed, came very close to happening in 2022. The attraction of a bigger and better league and the commercial opportunities this would afford were clear to many but ultimately, this was deemed not tempting enough to the Dutch Eredivisie.
However, with a European Super League still lurking somewhere on the horizon, there is an element of safety in numbers and an added impetus to make domestic leagues as commercially viable as possible.
This video, the first of a series concentrating on potential cross border leagues around the world assesses some scenarios of how this league could finally get over the line, potentially with some integration with The English Premier League. It will also assess if, when weighing all these moving pieces up, if a joint league would in fact be a net gain for the region and wider football world.

    You talk of the need for Dutch and Belgian buy-in from the fans, and the rich football tradition they have, so do you really think they’d accept going from the Eredivisie to playing u-23 English teams in the 2nd division? I doubt it. Even though the clubs didn’t ultimately vote for the BeneLiga last time, a deal is never dead. It may well be that if they tweak the deal enough, it’s back on the table. And is there not some sort of scenario where the biggest clubs in Belgium and Holland just say “we want to increase our revenue and be more competitive in Europe” and just break away from their respective leagues, a la the Premier League?

    • @ballboy1982
      @ballboy1982 Před 2 měsíci

      Yes, good points that does cause doubt in what is put forward here (I grappled with it a fair bit). The reasoning really is, if the Belgian clubs are willing to sell to 'bigger' clubs, is this already a detriment to their tradition and league structure? To survive and prosper in the modern game (and for what is coming down the road) this may be a way of getting something more than just cash from those deals and increases its interest abroad. Whether or not fans would see EPL U23's in div 2 as an insult, it's hard to say - we may soon find out in the comments! Thanks a lot for your interest and feedback, it's much appreciated.

      @@ballboy1982It’s interesting to think about how competitive a Dutch-Belgian league could be, because adding the populations of both countries, you get 27 million, which is half that of England and a third of Germany, but as you say as football nations they individually punch above their weight. But still the population and size of market will be half of England, which is important because the success of your league is mainly determined by the size of your country’s population. It’s also worth considering that with the dominance of the Premier League only set to increase, the need and desire for cross-border leagues as a solution is only going to increase. Which other cross-border leagues will you be covering? The Baltic League I think could well be possible. I also think the big Portuguese clubs should join the Spanish league, but there’s loads of mergers I think can make European football a lot more interesting

    This will NEVER happen, mainly for two reasons: Reason 1: to join the ENGLISH Premier League, SCOTTISH clubs would have to leave the Scootish FA & then be (somehow) amalgamated into (& NOW) the FA. That is not only much easier said than done, but once done (if at all possible), there can be no turning back. Reason 2: bearing in mind the words "there can be no turning back", the major concern must be Glasgow Rangers & Celtic. I believe i'd be correct in also adding Hibernian & Hearts. Those clubs aren't JUST about football. Therefore, adding those clubs (certainly Rangers & Celtic) & to the English game, would & overnight NOW mean the FA & (eventually) English Premier League have not only NOW added an extremely potent political & religious aspect to it's "beautiful" game. But from there, it is NOW an excuse for hoards of Scottish people to travel South of their boarder, with NO interest in football, to get drunk & smash up English towns & cities, simply because they don't like the English. The following week, it is NOW an excuse for hoards of English people, with NO interest in football to travel North of their boarder, to.get drunk & smash up Scottish towns & cities because they don't like the Scottish. In regards to reason no.2, I sincerely hate to talk like that. But lets be realistic & for the love of God, not naive. That is why Scottish clubs (especially those mentioned) can't join the FA & from there, the English Premier League. Once again, when/if it ever did happen, they're can be NO turning back. PS: If you THINK I'm talking rubbish or exaggerating, just cast your mind(s) back when Glasgow Rangers were in Manchester for 2008 UEFA Cup final against FC Zenit Saint Petersburg. That's the new reality, week in, week out across English & Scottish towns & Cities. Please also seriously consider & acknowledge the fact that Manchester isn't exactly a soft place OR "a playground", as if it were. Seriously sleep on it before entertaining that idea, worst still, actual move because if there was ever a "pandora's box" NOT to be opened & in the footballing world, that's the one you're currently thumbling around with the lock & key to pal.

The SFA (Scottish FA are concerned enough not to get involved with the GB Olympic team, for both men & women and Paralympics. Btw at the beginnings of Assocation football, there was a British cup, and the top Scottish teams were far superior to the English teams in general. Of course, with time, England caught up. It is interesting reading about football in the 1870s & 1880s.
