The '''Derde Divisie''' ({{IPA-nl|ˈdɛrdə diˈvizi}}; {{lang-en|Third Division}}), formerly known as '''Topklasse''' ({{IPA-nl|ˈtɔpklɑsə}}; {{lang-en|Top Class}}), is the fourth tier of [[football in the Netherlands]], which had its inaugural season as a third tier in 2010–11 and as a fourth tier in 2016–17. The league is placed between the [[Tweede Divisie]] and the [[Vierde Divisie]] (formerly Hoofdklasse), the third and fifth tiers of Dutch football, respectively.<ref name=nos>{{cite news|title=Plannen tweede divisie gaan door|url=http://nos.nl/artikel/2006876-de-voetbalpiramide-gaat-er-komen.html|access-date=16 July 2015|work=[[Nederlandse Omroep Stichting|NOS]].nl|date=2 December 2014|language=nl|archive-date=16 July 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150716210556/http://nos.nl/artikel/2006876-de-voetbalpiramide-gaat-er-komen.html|url-status=live}}</ref> The introduction of the then Topklasse resulted from discussions between the [[Royal Dutch Football Association]], the ''Coöperatie Eerste Divisie'' (the clubs in the Eerste Divisie) and the ''Centraal Overleg Hoofdklassers'' (the clubs in the Hoofdklasse).

== Background ==

A national football competition in the Netherlands was established in 1956. Prior to that, the districts of the Dutch football association held their own competitions, and the champions of these competitions faced each other for the national title. The highest national division in the new league structure became the [[Eredivisie]], followed by the [[Eerste Divisie]] and the [[Tweede Divisie]]. The [[Tweede Divisie]] was disbanded in 1971; six clubs were promoted to the [[Eerste Divisie]] (champions [[De Volewijckers]] along with [[FC Eindhoven]], [[VVV-Venlo|VVV]], [[Fortuna Vlaardingen]], [[FC Zwolle|PEC]] and [[Roda JC]]), while the remaining ten clubs became amateur clubs. The Eerste Divisie subsequently became the lowest league in professional football in the Netherlands.

The amateur football clubs had a separate league system, the highest league of which was the ''Eerste Klasse'' (later: [[Hoofdklasse]]). There was no [[promotion and relegation]] between professional football and amateur football; a professional football club could only drop to the amateur leagues if its licence for professional football was revoked, while an amateur football club could only be promoted after application and meeting a number of criteria.

The calls for a ''Topklasse'' largely stemmed from the professionalization of amateur football clubs in the Netherlands in recent years, in the sense that many [[Hoofdklasse]] club players now receive a salary.<ref name="Volkskrant">{{cite news|url=http://www.volkskrant.nl/sport/-kesler-heeft-geen-idee-wat-amateurvoetbal-inhoudt~a864499|title=‘Kesler heeft geen idee wat amateurvoetbal inhoudt’|author=Robert Missèt|publisher=[[de Volkskrant]]|page=17|date=18 June 2007|access-date=9 June 2012|language=nl|archive-date=22 September 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160922222410/http://www.volkskrant.nl/sport/-kesler-heeft-geen-idee-wat-amateurvoetbal-inhoudt~a864499|url-status=live}}</ref> This has closed the gap between the top of the Hoofdklasse and the bottom of the Eerste Divisie. Chairman of the Dutch football association [[Henk Kesler]] had therefore repeatedly called for the creation of the Topklasse to establish promotion and relegation between professional and amateur football, creating a league pyramid akin to the [[English football league system]].

The first plans for a Topklasse were rejected by the Eerste Divisie clubs in 1999.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.nrc.nl/handelsblad/1999/06/01/clubs-eerste-divisie-dwarsbomen-topklasse-7449221|title=Clubs eerste divisie dwarsbomen Topklasse|author=Erik Oudshoorn|publisher=[[NRC Handelsblad]]|page=11|date=1 June 1999|access-date=15 November 2007|language=nl}}</ref>

== Confirmed structure ==
[[File:Topklasse_logo.jpg|thumb|right|125px|Former Topklasse logo.]]
The new league structure was approved at an amateur clubs meeting on 6 June 2009.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://voetbalzone.nl/doc.asp?uid=80053|title=Topklasse in amateurvoetbal krijgt groen licht|work=Voetbalzone|date=6 June 2009|access-date=6 June 2009|archive-date=24 February 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120224102323/http://voetbalzone.nl/doc.asp?uid=80053|url-status=live}}</ref> The KNVB introduced the new level for the 2010–11 season, comprising 32 clubs. After the 2009–10 season, the bottom 2 teams in the [[Eerste Divisie]], whose size was reduced from 20 to 18 clubs, and the top four clubs from each of the six [[Hoofdklasse]] divisions – a total of 26 clubs – automatically joined the new level. These clubs were joined by six playoff winners from a pool of 12 clubs that finished in 5th or 6th place in their group within the Hoofdklasse.

The 32 clubs within the Topklasse were divided into two leagues comprising 16 clubs. One league was a "Saturday" league and the other a "Sunday" league, a setup that was in place for 14 seasons. At the end of the season, both clubs that finished at the top of their division play each other. The winner of that tie was promoted to the [[Eerste Divisie]], replacing the team that finished 18th. If the winner refused promotion or was ineligible for promotion, the runners-up were promoted. If both teams refused promotion, no promotion and relegation took place between the Eerste Divisie and Topklasse.

In January 2010, the exclusion of bankrupt [[HFC Haarlem]] from the Eerste Divisie reduced the number of scheduled relegations to one only, and led the KNVB to announce that this vacancy would be filled by an additional Hoofdklasse club.
On 12 May 2010, it was announced that [[BV Veendam]] had declared bankruptcy, possibly giving (otherwise relegated) [[FC Oss]] a chance to stay in the Eerste Divisie, with the extra slot filled by another Hoofdklasse club. Veendam's bankruptcy was then reversed on appeal, thus confirming FC Oss' relegation into the Topklasse.

After the 2015–16 season promotion to the reintroduced [[Tweede Divisie]], placed between the Eerste Divisie and the Topklasse, renamed Derde Divisie, was implemented. Thus, the Derde Divisie and lower leagues were decremented by one step in the pyramid, with the latter expanding to 36 clubs, 18 in each division.<ref name=nos/><ref>{{cite news|title=Vanaf seizoen 2016/17: promotie/degradatie tussen amateurvoetbal en betaald voetbal|url=http://home.knvb.nl/nieuws/vanaf-seizoen-201617-promotiedegradatie-tussen-amateurvoetbal-en-betaald-voetbal/|access-date=16 July 2015|work=[[Royal Dutch Football Association|KNVB]].nl|date=2 December 2014|language=nl|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150717114810/http://home.knvb.nl/nieuws/vanaf-seizoen-201617-promotiedegradatie-tussen-amateurvoetbal-en-betaald-voetbal/|archive-date=17 July 2015}}</ref> The division winners are promoted and no longer compete for the amateur championship which was made redundant.<ref>{{cite news|title=Last amateur championship|url=http://www.knvb.nl/nieuws/amateurvoetbal/uitgelicht/18440/historische-strijd-algeheel-amateurkampioenschap-live-op-fox|work=knvb.nl|date=19 May 2016|language=nl|access-date=1 September 2016|archive-date=24 August 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160824161032/http://www.knvb.nl/nieuws/amateurvoetbal/uitgelicht/18440/historische-strijd-algeheel-amateurkampioenschap-live-op-fox|url-status=live}}</ref>

The separation between Saturday and Sunday football was abolished in the Derde Divisie before the 2023–24 season. Amateur clubs are asked before the season whether they want to play their home games on Saturday or Sunday. This rule may be deviated from by principled Saturday clubs that retain the right to play on their day.<ref>{{cite news |title=Ledenraad stemt in met aanpassing voetbalpiramide |url=https://www.knvb.nl/nieuws/organisatie/berichten/66352/ledenraad-stemt-met-aanpassing-voetbalpiramide |publisher=KNVB |date=18 June 2022 |access-date=22 July 2023 |archive-date=18 October 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221018203837/https://www.knvb.nl/nieuws/organisatie/berichten/66352/ledenraad-stemt-met-aanpassing-voetbalpiramide |url-status=live }}</ref>

== Reforms from the 2016–17 season ==
There were several reforms from the 2016–17 season. The league was reformed as follows:

|}
A proposal to split the two divisions determined by region and not by playing date has been rejected.<ref>{{cite news|title=Topklasse gaat volgend seizoen verder als Derde Divisie|url=http://www.knvb.nl/nieuws/amateurvoetbal/competitiezaken/17017/topklasse-gaat-volgend-seizoen-verder-als-derde-divisie|access-date=4 March 2016|work=[[Royal Dutch Football Association|KNVB]].nl|date=4 March 2016|language=nl|archive-date=7 March 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160307012614/http://www.knvb.nl/nieuws/amateurvoetbal/competitiezaken/17017/topklasse-gaat-volgend-seizoen-verder-als-derde-divisie|url-status=live}}</ref>

== Perception among amateur clubs ==
[[IJsselmeervogels]], one of the most successful amateur football clubs in the Netherlands, was a strong opponent of the plans; chief Arian van de Vuurst has stated that "professional football does not fit in with our culture."<ref name="Volkskrant"/> Because of these objections, promotion to the Eerste Divisie was not mandatory for the champion of the former Topklasse. After 2016, however, promotion to the Tweede Divisie is required.
