Netherlands, province: North Holland = Noord-Holland
1 II 2025 / vv ZOB - vv VIOS-W 5-0 / District West I, Combined Sunday & Saturday League 1A (= NL level 6)
Timeline
- 1956 / Foundation of a football club in the village of Zuidoostbeemster, on the western outskirts of Purmerend in North Holland. The new club, which takes on the name vv ZOB (Zuidoostbeemster), joins the NHVB (Noord-Hollandse Voetbalbond), the North Holland sub-branch of the Netherlands’ Football Association (KNVB). vv ZOB settles on a newly laid-out pitch at J.J. Grootlaan. Although the majority of the club’s membership has a Roman Catholic background, vv ZOB joins the Saturday league pyramid, traditionally dominated by clubs of Protestant background – the reason behind this being that there is no room for an additional club in the NHVB Sunday pyramid for the 1956-57 season.
- 1968 / After twelve years in the NHVB divisions, with several promotions behind them, vv ZOB now wins the title in NHVB Division 1, with the decisive points being obtained in a 4-0 home win over vv PSZ Reserves. As such, vv ZOB accedes to KNVB District West I’s Saturday League 4 for the first time. The successful coach is Steef Nijenhuis.
- 1976 / Champions in District West I’s Saturday League 4A, 8 points ahead of closest followers vv Kromhout, vv ZOB wins promotion to Saturday League 3. The successful coach is Dolf van Dijk.
- 1977 / Champions in District West I’s Saturday League 3A, 3 points ahead of closest followers vv Blauw-Wit (za), vv ZOB – still coached by Dolf van Dijk – wins its second promotion in a row, acceding to to Saturday League 2 for the first time.
