1982–83 Eerste Divisie
27th season of the second-tier football league in Netherlands
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Dutch Eerste Divisie in the 1982–83 season was contested by 16 teams, two less than the previous season. This was due to the disbandment of FC Amsterdam at the end of last season and the disbandment of SC Amersfoort halfway this year. DS '79 won the championship.
