Note: Sportpark Veenoord, inaugurated in 1954, was initially occupied by two Sunday League teams, NAB (Nieuw-Amsterdam Boys) & VHC (Veenoord-Holsloot Combinatie). In 1973, these two clubs, together with Saturday team NAVC (Nieuw-Amsterdamse Voetbalclub), concluded a merger, forming SV Twedo (Twedo being an abbreviation of Tweelingdorp or "Twin Town", a reference to the villages of Veenoord and Nieuw-Amsterdam forming one single agglomeration). Apart from football, Sportpark Veenoord is also in use for speedway races and (weather permitting) speed skating.
