The 1971–1972 season was the 69th season of competitive football in Belgium. RSC Anderlechtois won their 15th Division I title〔http://www.footbel.com/documents/COMPETITIES/Eindklassementen/S1971-1972FR.pdf FA website〕 and made the double by beating Standard Club Liégeois in the Belgian Cup final (1-0).〔http://www.footbel.com/fr/Competitites/statistieken/bekerfinales/heren_2.html FA Website〕 Standard Club Liégeois reached the quarter-finals of the 1971–72 European Champion Clubs' Cup and K Lierse SK the quarter-finals of the first ever UEFA Cup. The Belgium national football team qualified for the first time for the European Championship finals, by finishing first of their group and by beating Italy in the second qualifying round. Belgium was subsequently chosen to host the finals, of which they finished 3rd.〔http://www.footbel.com/fr/nationale_elftallen/statistieken_1/per_datum.html FA website〕 For the first time, a Belgian Women's First Division championship was played (with three leagues at the top level), won by Astrio Begijnendijk. ==Overview== Belgium finished the first UEFA Euro 1972 qualifying round by losing to Scotland and drawing against Portugal, though their good start (4 wins) was enough to secure the first place in Group 5 with 9 points (2 points ahead of Portugal). Belgium thus qualified for the second qualifying round, to be played against Group 6 winners, Italy, on a home and away basis. The first game ended in a goalless draw, and Belgium qualified for the finals by beating Italy in the second game (2-1). For the first time in their history, Belgium would take part in the European Championship finals. Belgium was even chosen to host the finals (two semi-finals, a game for third-place and the final). They lost however in the semifinals to West Germany (1-2) at the Bosuilstadion in Antwerp, but won the game for the third-place against Hungary (2-1). The final was won by West Germany against Soviet Union (3-0). Belgium also started their qualifying campaign for the 1974 FIFA World Cup with two wins over Iceland. At the end of the season, KSV Waregem and KSK Beveren were relegated to Division II, to be replaced by K Berchem Sport and K Beringen FC from Division II. The bottom 2 clubs in Division II (K Waterschei SV Thor Genk and R.C.S. Verviétois) were relegated to Division III, to be replaced by KSC Lokeren and KFC Winterslag (after winning a play-off game 2-1 against VV Patro Eisden) from Division III. The bottom club of each Division III league (K Willebroekse SV, RE Mouscron, KSC Maccabi Voetbal Antwerp and Wavre Sports) were relegated to Promotion, to be replaced by R Jet de Bruxelles, R Stade Waremmien FC, KVV Looi Sport Tessenderlo and Kortrijk Sport from Promotion.. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「1971–72 in Belgian football」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
