Wikipedia - Challenger Pro League
The Challenger Pro League (previously known as 1B Pro League) is the second-highest division in the Belgian football league system, one level below the Belgian Pro League. It was created by the Royal Belgian Football Association in 2016, replacing the Belgian Second Division. From the season 2016–17 until 2019–20, the competition was named Proximus League, after the main sponsor Proximus.
History
The Belgian First Division B was created in 2016 as the successor of the Belgian Second Division following an overhaul of the Belgian football league system which saw the number of professional clubs reduced to 24 and the number of teams at the second level of the football pyramid to 8.
During Belgian Second Division era from 1973 to 2016, the second division winner and the play-off winner promote to the first division. From 2016 on, the second division winner is no longer guaranteed promotion. The league is divided in two periods of 15 games. The winners of a period compete each other in a final. If a team wins both periods, no final is played and it automatically rises to the highest level. In 2017, Lierse became champion of the league, but no promotion was allowed because they did not win a period. Antwerp and SV Roeselare played the final.
The Belgium First Division B is known for its intense and thrilling matches, showcasing the skills and talents of both established and up-and-coming players. The teams participating in the tournament consist of a mix of traditional clubs with rich histories and newly formed teams looking to make their mark in Belgian soccer.
Throughout the season, teams compete in a round-robin format, playing against each other both home and away. The matches are held in various stadiums across Belgium, creating a vibrant atmosphere for fans to cheer on their favorite teams. The tournament is known for its passionate supporters, who create an electric atmosphere in the stands, adding to the excitement on the field.
The Belgium First Division B provides a platform for young talents to showcase their skills and catch the attention of scouts from top-tier clubs. Many players who have excelled in this tournament have gone on to have successful careers in both domestic and international soccer.
Promotion to the Belgium First Division A is the ultimate goal for teams in the Belgium First Division B. The team that finishes at the top of the table at the end of the season earns direct promotion, while the second-place team enters a playoff against the second-to-last team from the top division for a chance to secure promotion.
The Belgium First Division B is a thrilling and competitive tournament that offers an exciting brand of soccer. With its passionate fans, talented players, and the opportunity for promotion, it is a must-watch for soccer enthusiasts looking for high-quality action on the field.
