1962–63 Tweede Divisie

Tweede Divisie 1962–63 VSV VSV BVV 1825 3.35 1961–62 1963–64 The Dutch Tweede Divisie in the 1962–63 season was contested by 34 teams. Due to a large number of teams entering from the higher Eerste Divisie after mass relegations there, there were 22 new entrants. Teams were divided in two groups of seventeen teams. The champions played a play-off for promotion. After that match, a mini-tournament was held to determine a second team that would be promoted. It turned out that group B runners-up BVV would be promoted and not group B champions Haarlem. New entrants There were only twelve teams that had been participating in this league last season, meaning there were 22 new entrants. Many of the new entrants were teams that were promoted in the previous seasons of the Tweede Divisie. Due to the reorganisation in professional football by the KNVB, many teams were back to where they started. auto Relegated from the Eerste Divsisie into group A AGOVV Apeldoorn Vitesse Arnhem KFC Alkmaar '54 Leeuwarden Stormvogels ZFC Be Quick 1887 FC Wageningen sc Heerenveen VSV 5em Relegated from the Eerste Divsisie into group B SVV DFC HVV 't Gooi BVV HFC Haarlem Hermes DVS TSV NOAD FC Hilversum HVC RKVV Wilhelmina Entered from amateur football Xerxes (entered in group B) Final tables Group A main WDL Q y 2 VSV VSV APE AGOVV Apeldoorn NEC NEC AZ Alkmaar '54 KFC KFC VIT Vitesse Arnhem LEE Leeuwarden ZFC ZFC WAG FC Wageningen STO Stormvogels BEQ Be Quick 1887 HEE sc Heerenveen TUB HVV Tubantia ZWO Zwolsche Boys GRA De Graafschap ZWA VV Zwartemeer OLD VV Oldenzaal 20 7 5 63 34 16 10 6 62 39 17 7 8 71 48 15 9 8 64 39 15 8 9 57 41 12 12 8 54 45 13 7 12 60 64 11 9 12 43 44 11 8 13 56 59 8 13 11 35 44 11 6 15 55 62 10 8 14 48 60 9 9 14 55 66 9 8 15 43 58 9 7 16 32 52 8 8 16 44 58 6 8 18 40 69 green2 Qualified for Championship play-off Stormvogels merged with promoted VSV to form Telstar.
