Official league names

Holland

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.

Ligue 1 doesn't have a league sponsor
Ligue 2 naming right is owned by Dominos Pizza.

Domino's make deals with fans of Ligue 2 teams who attend matches that they can get a pizza for cheaper if they show match tickets to the store .

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.
