The 2012–13 season of the Women's BeNe League was the first season of the Belgium and the Netherlands' women's football top level league. Since this was the first season, the league had no reigning champion, although both countries had reigning champions from their former top leagues—Standard Liège in Belgium and ADO Den Haag in the Netherlands. The season started on 24 August 2012. The championship was won by FC Twente.[1][2]

The season began with a national phase, involving eight teams in each nation. The teams then played a double round-robin, resulting in 14 matches per team. The best four teams from each nation then qualified for the BeNe League A. The other teams joined the BeNe League B. The best team of each country in League A qualified for the 2013–14 UEFA Women's Champions League.[3]

edit

Teams were required to apply for league places. In Belgium, 11 teams asked for a license,[4] and nine teams got a license.[5] Dutch teams had until 31 May 2011 to apply. On 5 June, the KNVB announced that nine Dutch teams would join the BeNe league.[6] On 11 June, VVV-Venlo decided with FCE/PSV to withdraw from the BeNe League.[7][8]
