Belgian professional football license
- Belgian professional football license
The Belgian professional football license is a license that any team qualified to play the Jupiler League must have obtained. If a qualified team does not obtain the license, it is relegated to the third division. When the license was introduced, it was decided that a team without the license would not be replaced, but it is still not effective. A similar license is given to clubs in the second division, but it is looser.
Terms

*play or qualify for the first division;
*dispose of at least 20 players having the status of remunerated player;
