Netherlands, province: South Holland = Zuid-Holland
30 V 2026 / GHVV '13 - FC Maense 3-1 A.E.T. / District West II, Saturday League 4 - promotion play-off R1 (= NL level 9)
Timeline
- 1917 / Foundation of a football club in the village of Geervliet, on the island of Voorne-Putten in the Province of South Holland; the new club takes on the name vv PFC, i.e. Puttensche Football Club. It is unclear if PFC played its football at Terrein Rode Dorp, Sportlaan, from the outset, but it is clear the club had settled here by 1932 at its latest.
- 1972 / Moving away from Terrein Rode Dorp at Sportlaan, vv PFC moves into Sportpark Toldijk.
- 1974 / Foundation of a football club in the village of Heenvliet, on the island of Voorne-Putten in the province of South Holland, which takes the name HVV (Heenvlietse Voetbalvereniging) Bernisse – named after the River Bernisse, which divides the twin island of Voorne-Putten. In contrast to vv PFC, which is non-denominational and plays its football on Sundays, HVV Bernisse is a Protestant (Evangelical) club, which disapproves of sporting activities on the Sabbath. From the outset, the club plays its home matches at Sportpark Bernisse, located on Wethouder Gelderlandlaan.
- 2013 / HVV Bernisse and vv PFC merge their respective youth academies, resulting in the foundation of a so-called Samenwerkende Jeugdorganisatie (SJO) or Combined Youth Academy, which is given the name GHVV ’13, i.e. Geervliet-Heenvliet-Voetbalvereniging 2013, with the clear goal of bringing about a fully-fledged merger between the two clubs in due course.
- 2016 / Following the 2015-16 season, three years after the merger of the youth academies of the two clubs, a fully-fledged merger is achieved between vv PFC and HVV Bernisse, which had suffered relegation from Saturday League 3 in its last season as an independent club, resulting in the foundation of GHVV ’13. For the following four seasons, pending a new sports complex halfway between the two villages, first team football is alternately played at Sportpark Bernisse in Heenvliet (each first half of the season) and Sportpark Toldijk in Geervliet (each second half of the season). Withdrawing from the Sunday pyramid altogether, GHVV ’13 allows its first team to take over the place of HVV Bernisse in Saturday League 4, with promotion to Saturday League 3 being achieved in 2017.
- 2020 / After four years of subdividing club activities between Sportpark Toldijk in Geervliet and Sportpark Bernisse in Heenvliet, GHVV ’13 now moves into its new, purpose-built Sportcomplex Guldeland, on the western outskirts of Geervliet. The old ground of HVV Bernisse is redeveloped into a shopping centre.
- 2022 / Finishing in second-last place in District West II’s Saturday League 3C, GHVV ’13 proves unable to hold its own in the promotion-relegation play-offs, in which the club is knocked out by RKSV Excelsior ’20 (1-3). As such, the club drops back into Saturday League 4, alongside bottom club FC Vlotbrug.
- 2023 / Finishing in fourth place in District West II’s Saturday League 4F, GHVV ’13 qualifies for the promotion play-offs, in which the club knocks out SV Rotterdam United in R1 (0-2), only to be pegged back for the second year running by RKSV Excelsior ’20 in R2 (4-1).
- 2025 / Finishing in fifth place in District West II’s Saturday League 4E, GHVV ’13 qualifies for the promotion play-offs, in which the club draws a bye in R1, going on to be eliminated in R2 by vv Naaldwijk (1-0).
- 2026 / Runner-up in District West II’s Saturday League 4F, 2 points behind champions vv OSV Oud-Beijerland, GHVV ’13 qualifies for the promotion play-offs. Knocking out FC Maense in R1 (3-1 A.E.T.), the club qualifies for the final against DBGC, played at Sportpark Molengors in Stellendam, in which GHVV ’13 has to leave the honours to the club from Oude-Tonge (2-0).
