Timeline

• 1976 / With its membership ever growing, RKVV OKSV from the hamlet of Overlangel in North Brabant, a club founded in 1949 and playing its football at Sportcomplex ‘t Veldje at Kerkstraat since 1962, acquires a second pitch on the northwestern fringe of the village, at Overlangelseweg. Solely used for training purposes, this pitch has the benefit of dressing rooms built in situ.
• 1987 / A thorough renovation of the dressing rooms at Terrein Overlangelseweg is undertaken.
• 2025 / In December 2025, Terrein Overlangelseweg along with Sportcomplex 't Veldje are abandoned in favour of the newly built multifunctional park, Sportpark HONK - HONK being an abbreviation of Huis voor Overlangel, Neerloon & Keent, where the first matches are played in January 2026.
