What immediate impact does Feyenoord's failure to gain promotion have on their long-term goal of having a reserve team in the first division?

Feyenoord's Under-21 team failed to secure promotion to the second division despite a 3-1 victory against Jong Sparta in the decisive match. This win was insufficient to overcome their 3-0 first-leg defeat, leaving them in the reserve league for another year. Sparta's Under-23 team, finishing sixteenth this season, remains in the second division.
