NETHERLANDS: SV De Musschen (1952-2004) / RVV Kocatepe (2003-2006, 2010-2017) / RVV Kocatepe-Anadolu (2006-2010)

Sportcomplex Oldegaarde-Kocatepe, Rotterdam Zuid (formerly SV De Musschen / RVV Kocatepe / RVV Kocatepe-Anadolu)

Netherlands, province: South Holland

28 V 2012 / RVV Kocatepe - SV Nieuwkoop 1-0 A.E.T. - Kocatepe won penalty shoot-out (4-2) / District West II, Sunday League 2, promotion play-off semi, second leg (= NL level 6)

Note 1: SV De Musschen, founded in 1919, played at this ground from 1952 until 2004. In 2003, they were joined by RVV Kocatepe (renamed RVV Kocatepe-Anadolu for four seasons), who became the sole inhabitants of the ground after De Musschen's merger with DEH, becoming SV DEHMusschen and moving to DEH's ground. Kocatepe were forced out of the ground by the Rotterdam town council in the summer of 2017 due to the unability of the club to pay their outstanding debts due for the use of the premises. Not being allowed to access their ground, the club withdrew from their league (Sunday League 1B, at that time level 6 of the Netherlands' football pyramid) in September 2017 without having played a single game in the new season.
