1 VII 2022 / SVV '04 - FC Emmen 0-16 / Pre-season friendly

Note: Sunday league club Sportclub Oranje (Schoonebeek), not to be confused with its exact namesake Sportclub Oranje from Arnhem, saw the daylight in 1958. The stand adorning the club's Sportpark De Kampen was inaugurated in 1994. In 2004, a merger was concluded between SC Oranje and the Saturday league team in Schoonebeek, vv Minjak, founded in 1947 as the team of the Royal Dutch Petroleum Company (or N.A.M., Nederlandse Aardolie Maatschappij); the club name reflected this, as 'minjak' is the Malay word for 'oil'. From 1951 onwards, vv Minjak played their football at Ontspanningscentrum De Boô. Finally, in 2004, a merger was concluded between the two clubs, resulting in SVV '04 (Schoonebeekse Voetbalvereniging 2004), with all activities moving to SC Oranje's ground. Though SVV '04 started out with two first teams, one in the Saturday league pyramid and the other in the Sunday pyramid, the Saturday league first team was disbanded after the 2006-07 season.
