“A competition with 18 teams is the only option”

The Pro League will meet again for a general meeting next week. Then the competition format of next season will undoubtedly be discussed. After all, the earlier agreement has been jeopardized by the legal complaints of degradant Waasland-Beveren.

The Pro League initially wanted to solve the problem by completing day 30 of the regular league, or at least the two duels related to the relegation battle. In this way, WB’s complaints would lapse. But several clubs do not like that proposal. And so, one would consider going to an 18-team league next season, so there would be no relegation.

According to Marc Brys, coach of OH Leuven, that is also the only correct option. “The only possibility, whether that is the best or not, is to go to a league with 18 teams. And the following competitions must be grafted on to that,” he said. ROB TV. In such a scenario, both OHL and Beerschot VA would obtain a doctorate. Otherwise, both teams will finish the promotion final in early August.
