Netherlands, province: Utrecht

25 X 2017 / AFC Quick 1890 - SV Laren '99 1-2 / District West I, Regional Cup - R1

Note 1: Amersfoortsche Football Club (AFC), founded in 1890, concluded a merger with Quick in 1894, forming vv Quick (Amersfoort), officially renamed AFC Quick 1890 when the club celebrated its 100th birthday in 1990. vv Quick played its football at the ground used by AFC prior to the merger, Sportpark Nimmerdor, from 1890 to 1910, before moving to Sportpark Birkhoven (1910-35). In 1935, the club settled down at their current ground. Between 1945 and 1947, due to the near destruction of the ground by the German occupiers in World War II, vv Quick had to groundshare with Amersfoortse Boys at the latter's ground at Rubensstraat. When the football stadium at Sportpark Birkhoven, abandoned after the demise of Sportclub Amersfoort in 1982, was knocked down in 1985 to make way for a field hockey ground, a part of the uncovered seated stand was taken over by Quick and rebuilt at Sportpark Dorrestein (cp. photos 13, 15 & 17 below). By 2022, however, this stand, deemed unsafe for use, had been removed.
