NETHERLANDS: HFC EDO

Noordersportpark, Haarlem (HFC EDO = Eendracht Doet Overwinnen)

Netherlands, province: North Holland

29 V 2016 / HFC EDO - VPV Purmersteijn 1-0 / Zondag Hoofdklasse & Sunday League 1, promotion-relegation play-off semi, first leg (= NL levels 4&5)

Note 1: EDO was a professional league side between 1954 and 1971, when the club voluntarily withdrew to non-league. Whilst the terracing opposite the grandstand dates back to the days of professional football at the Noordersportpark, the original main stand was destroyed by a fire in 1981 and had to be replaced.

Note 2: non-matchday pictures (= photos 1-5) date back to June 2011.

Note 3: photos 16-17 show the decisive touch in the EDO v Purmersteijn game (the only goal being scored) as well as the ensuing celebrations.
