history [edit ]
Sportclub Heerenveen was founded on 20 July 1920 in the town of Heerenveen, Friesland, as Athleta. [ 2 ] It changed name doubly, first to Spartaan and then to v.v. Heerenveen in 1922. [ 2 ] While the Netherlands was occupied by Germany, Heerenveen won three consecutive North of the Netherlands championships, and following the end of World War II it went on to win the lapp style six times in a row ; the club ‘s dominance partially ascribed to the presence of Abe Lenstra. [ 2 ] During this period, Lenstra led Heerenveen to a celebrated victory over Ajax in one of the most note games in Dutch domestic football history. [ 3 ] Trailing 5–1 with 25 minutes remaining, the Frisian team inexplicably fought back for a 6–5 victory. [ 3 ] During the 1950s, Heerenveen regional authority faded and after Dutch football turned professional Lenstra left to join Sportclub Enschede, before the club he departed was relegated to the Tweede Divisie. [ 2 ] By the end of the decade, Heerenveen was in the Eerste Divisie, but found itself relegated again. [ 2 ] In 1969–70, the frisian club won the Tweede Divisie to return to the Eerste Divisie and for two seasons in the 1970s, the club was close to achieving forwarding to the top-flight Eredivisie. [ 2 ] By 1974, the baseball club was in fiscal perturb and to ensure its survival it was split into amateurish and professional sections on the 1st of June 1977, the professional part being renamed sc Heerenveen. [ 2 ] In the 1980s, Heerenveen doubly made the forwarding playoffs, but were abortive both times. [ 2 ] It last reached the Eredivisie in 1990, becoming the first frisian cabaret to reach the top level, at the expense of near-neighbours Cambuur. [ 3 ] The accomplishment was oversee by frisian coach Foppe de Haan. Heerenveen ‘s foremost season in the Netherlands ‘ top division was not at all successful and it was relegated, before returning in 1993, though they reached the final of the KNVB Cup while distillery an Eerste Divisie club. [ 3 ] Having established itself as a top-flight baseball club, Heerenveen moved to a modern stadium, named after their most celebrated player, the Abe Lenstra Stadion, and reached the final examination of the KNVB Cup for a second time. [ 3 ] The 1998 semi-final in the cup contest was lost to Ajax. Because Ajax and the early finalist, PSV, had both qualified for the cup final, a decisiveness pit was needed to fill in the vacant spot for the following season ‘s UEFA Cup Winners ‘ Cup. Heerenveen had to play against the other losing semi-finalist, Twente. Heerenveen won that match in which Ruud avant-garde Nistelrooy scored his last goal for Heerenveen. The match ended 3–1. Heerenveen became regular competitors in the UEFA Cup, and in 1999–2000 finished irregular in the Eredivisie, its highest always finish, and qualified for the 2000–01 UEFA Champions League. [ 2 ] The golf club was led from 1983 until September 2006 by president of the united states Riemer avant-garde five hundred Velde, the longest tenure of any president with a master golf club in the Netherlands. [ citation needed ] As the results of recent transfers that include Klaas-Jan Huntelaar, Afonso Alves, Michael Bradley, Miralem Sulejmani, Petter Hansson and Danijel Pranjić ( and earlier players like Jon Dahl Tomasson, Marcus Allbäck, Erik Edman, Ruud van Nistelrooy, Igor Korneev and Daniel Jensen ), Heerenveen is one of the most financially batten Eredivisie clubs. A 2010 report by the Dutch football association showed that Heerenveen is the entirely Eredivisie club that has a financially dependable budget. [ 4 ] Under the tenure of Trond Sollied, Heerenveen won its first base KNVB Cup, besides its beginning ever major trophy. Trond Sollied, however, was sacked on 31 August 2009 ascribable to a weak opening of the season and a battle with the board. On 17 May 2009, the cabaret defeated Twente 5–4 in a penalty shoot-out to win the dutch Cup for the first time after a 2–2 withdraw in the final, with Gerald Sibon scoring the winning penalty. [ 5 ] On 13 February 2012, it was announced that Marco van Basten would replace Ron Jans, who had led Heerenveen for two years, as team director for the 2012–13 season .
stadium [edit ]
The club plays its home matches at the Abe Lenstra Stadium, which opened in 1994 and holds 26,100 people. Before that, the team played at a footing with the like name elsewhere in the town, but it could not meet the increasing popularity of the club. Throughout the years, the club developed several plans to further expand the stadium. One of the plans was to extend at least one side rack towards the pitch, as seen in English football stadiums. Due to deteriorating league results and fiscal limitedness, however, those plans were shelved. It is uncertain whether or not the club will ever carry them out. Before the move to the Abe Lenstra Stadion, Heerenveen played at the Sportpark Noord. The club ‘s train facilities are regarded as earth class, which is said to be a major agent in their recruitment of younger players. The list of the clubhouse facilities is sportpark Skoatterwâld [ nl ]. The facilities are shared with VV Heerenveen and security council Heerenveen ( women ) .
Colours, cap and hymn [edit ]
The crest on the club emblem is the symbol of the sag of Friesland. The flag of Friesland is based on the arms of the fifteenth century. The stripes and seeblatt shapes represent the districts of Friesland. A unique custom in the Dutch Eredivisie is that the frisian national anthem is played and sung before every domestic match. UEFA does not allow this tradition in european matches. however, the anthem is sung by the supporters anyhow .
competition [edit ]
SC Cambuur [edit ]
Heerenveen retain a very fierce competition with SC Cambuur. One of the reasons of the competition is the short distance between the two clubs. Because of that the clubs much refer to each early as DKV which stands for Dertig Kilometer Verderop ( Thirty Kilometers Away ) so that they do n’t have to mention each early ‘s names. however, the biggest and besides the most confuse reason is the background of the clubs. many people who are n’t involved in the competition find it difficult to understand. Most of the Heerenveen fans are from small villages from the stallion state ( and even outside it ) and are identical proud of their frisian identity. Since the 80 ‘s the club have been expressing this frisian pride to the rest of the Netherlands. The frisian flag, the Frisian hymn, all frisian symbols were linked to the club, which made Heerenveen the face of Frisia. Because of this Cambuur lento disappeared in the shadow of Heerenveen, as a reaction to this Cambuur fans started distancing themselves from the frisian identity. Nowadays Cambuur do n’t consider themselves frisian even though they are from the capital of the province. They now call themselves Leeuwarders aka people from the city. Heerenveen fans are derisively called boeren ( farmers ) because Heerenveen is n’t a city and the fans chiefly live in belittled villages. Because of the successes of Heerenveen and the meager performances of Cambuur including about going bankrupt, the competition was about forgotten. When Cambuur got promoted spinal column to the Eredivisie in 2013 by winning the 2012/13 season of the Jupiler League the competition got revived. Before the meeting on 29 September 2013 the game had n’t been played for 13 years, giving Cambuur a capital opportunity to prove themselves. Heerenveen won that game 2–1. The away plot later in the season was won 3-1 by Cambuur .
FC Groningen [edit ]
The absence of Cambuur caused FC Groningen to be the nearest Eredivisie team and soon it became rivals with Heerenveen. strikingly, both northern sides used to maintain more or less of a friendship in the past. therefore, this Northern Derby competition is only based on geographic location. Because most Heerenveen fans have constantly considered Cambuur as main rivals, this bowler hat is much referred to as a surrogate bowler hat. traditionally, the winner claims the title Pride of the North. Days before the game, Heerenveen and Groningen fans tease each other by means of playful actions, normally with no ferocity. Heerenveen fans once stole the center spot from the Oosterpark stadium [ nl ], and raised the frisian flag at the Martinitoren, the highest column in Groningen, combined with a standard saying “SCH op eenzame hoogte” (SCH on lonely height). [ 6 ] The front yard of a Groningen chair once got filled with debris from a construction locate. This was because the construction of the Euroborg had to be halted due to a major design mistake. Groningen fans countered by painting a statue of all-time Heerenveen hero Abe Lenstra park and white, the colors of Groningen. [ 7 ] They besides transformed a viaduct near Heerenveen to green and white. A class by and by, in the 2001–02 season, Groningen fans awarded Heerenveen actor Anthony Lurling the style of “ Biggest deceiver of the season ” and handed him therefore a sewing machine. In that lapp week the town signs of Heerenveen were changed to “ Hoerenveen It Sucks ” ( Whore -veen ) by the Groningen supporters. The follow temper, Groningen fans teased the Heerenveen following again, this time by establishing a border post on the frame of Groningen and Friesland. [ 8 ]
