The idea to say goodbye to artificial turf in the league has been around for a while but the decision to ban it has now been made official on Monday.
18 clubs voted to agree that from the 2025/26 season, all clubs must be playing on real grass pitches or a hybrid form.
This season, SC Cambuur, FC Emmen, Excelsior, and FC Volendam all played on artificial grass, but this will no longer be allowed from 2025 onwards.
