Note 1: RV&AV Feijenoord, founded as vv Wilhelmina in 1908, moved into Stadion Feijenoord (De Kuip) in 1937. Twelve years later, in 1949, all Feijenoord youth teams took up playing their football at Sportpark Varkenoord, which, henceforth, was also used for training purposes by the first team. In 1956, the club changed their name to become Sportclub Feijenoord (and fifteen years later, in a minor spelling adaptation, Feijenoord became Feyenoord). In 1978, Feyenoord was split in two: the professional side BVO Stichting Feyenoord, and a non-league side, SC Feyenoord; henceforth, Sportpark Varkenoord West was shared by SC Feyenoord and Stichting Feyenoord's youth teams. The main stand, replacing a wooden predecessor which was sold to vv Wilhelmus in Voorburg, was constructed in 1994. In mid-2019, SC Feyenoord & Feyenoord's youth academy moved to the newly built Sportpark Nieuw Varkenoord West, constructed on one of the side pitches of the ground pictured below; subsequently, Sportpark Varkenoord West was demolished.
