I have never understood their 1st tier name.
Belgium 1st level name is: Jupiler Pro League (Jupiler is a beer brand)
2nd level: Proximus League (Proximus is a TV/Internet/Telephone company)
Cup: Croky Cup (Croky is a potato chips brand)
Eredivisie: Eredivisie (Joined corporation of the 18 cubs)
Eerste divisie: Jupiler League
Still the same in the Netherlands. Jupiler is a beer brand.
The Cup doesn't have a sponsor name. It is called KNVB-beker (KNVB is the name of the Dutch FA).
That's the same in Belgium right? I have never understood their 1st tier name.
Jupiler is the largest-selling lager beer in Belgium, originally from Jupille (suburb of Liège and legendary bithplace of Charlemagne (Carolus Magnus). Jupiler is now part of AB Inbev group as local brand (like Labatt from Canada). Other are international brands (Beck's, Hoegaarden, Leffe...) and with Stella Artois, Budweiser and Corona, you have "global brands". The headoffice is in Leuven.
