Revision as of 16:13, 21 February 2010
The 1999/2000 season of the Jupiler League was held between August 6, 1999 and May 11, 2000. Sporting Anderlecht became champions.
Promoted teams
These teams were promoted from the second division at the start of the season:
- KV Mechelen (second division champions)
- Verbroedering Geel (playoff winner)
Relegated teams
These teams were relegated to the second division at the end of the season:
Anderlecht's title success
Anderlecht became champions on April 21, 2000 after the defeat of rival Club Brugge at Herman Vanderpoortenstadion to Lierse 1-0 as it was 7 points ahead the Brugge team with 3 matches to go prior to this. The next day Anderlecht beat Racing Genk by 1-4 and then Standard Liège 2-0.
Battle for Europe
The runner-up Club Brugge qualified for the UEFA Cup and so did Gent.
The relegation dog fight
Charleroi avoided the relegation with a discussed draw against Anderlecht on the last matchday. Anderlecht was indeed already champion and it played with Enzo Scifo who had previously signed a deal with Charleroi. Anyway Geel lost its last match to Club Brugge and it was thus relegated with Lommel.
