Breda football club NAC relegated; JC Roda, De Graafschap move up
After 15 successive seasons in the Dutch premier league, Breda football club NAC have been relegated.
NAC lost a key play-off tie against JC Roda 1-2 at home on Sunday. JC Roda, who were relegated to the Jupiler league last season, now returns to the Eredivisie.
De Graafschap of Doetichem will also move up to the Eredivisie, after beating FC Volendam in their play-off. De Graafschap were relegated at the end of the 2011-12 season.
The completion of the play-off round means Dordrecht, Go Ahead Eagles and NAC are being replaced in the Eredivise by NEC of Nijmegen, JC Roda and De Graafschap.
