Eredivisie 1955

						
Netherlands 1954/55

The KNVB competition started on September 4, 1954, and the NBVB competition 
on September 11, 1954.  
In November the two federations decided to merge.  Both competitions were
abandoned and combined for a restart.  The KNVB remained the organising
federation.
Before the restart a few mergers had to take place.
 -Profclub Utrecht and Elinkwijk merged into Elinkwijk
 -Rapid '54 and Juliana merged into Rapid J.C.
 -Sportclub Venlo '54 and V.V.V. merged into V.V.V.
 -Profclubs Rotterdam and Den Haag merged into Flamingo's, later changed 
  into Holland Sport.
 -the two KNVB clubs Kerkrade and Bleijerheide merged into Roda Sport.
 -Twentse Profs and Tubantia merged into Tubantia
The former NBVB clubs De Graafschap, Amsterdam, Alkmaar and Fortuna '54
were included in the 1e klasse.
The 56 clubs in the four 1e klasses can be considered as the first (semi-)
professional clubs in the Netherlands.
