NETHERLANDS: RKSV FCV (1973-2026)

Sportpark Arenborg, Venlo 't Ven (RKSV FCV)

Netherlands, province: Limburg

1 X 2023 / RKSV FCV - RKVV MVC '19 4-2 / District South II, Sunday League 3C (= NL level 8)

Timeline

• 1932 / Foundation of a football club in ’t Ven, a hamlet situated just to the northeast of Venlo, very close to the border with Germany, by two men, Sef Linders and Maar Peeters. The foundation meeting taking place in Café Theike Backus at Straelseweg, the club name chosen initially is VIOS (probably an acronym for ‘Vooruitgang Is Ons Streven’). Given, however, that a club in nearby Tegelen already turns out to have that exact name, one settles for RKSV FCV – standing for Roomsch-Katholieke Sportvereeniging Football Club Venlo (although the club later started unofficially calling itself Football Club ‘t Ven to mark its heritage). Probably, also in 1932, the club joined the so-called RKLVB (Roomsch-Katholieke Limburgsche Voetbalbond), a league association of Roman-Catholic clubs from Limburg not affiliated to the official Netherlands’ FA (KNVB). The club’s first pitch is situated at Arenborgweg in ‘t Ven. In the following four decades, RKSV FCV regularly moves from one pitch to the other, but exact information regarding this subject sadly unavailable.
• 1940 / Probably having spent the first eight years of its existence in RKLVB and/or IVCB (of which RKLVB was a feeder league), RKSV FCV is now constrained to make the step to the official Netherlands’ FA (renamed NVB following the German oppression of the Netherlands, abandoning the royal epithet ‘koninklijk’ for obvious reasons) as all other football associations are abolished by German occupation authorities. FCV is placed in District South II’s Sunday League 3E.
• 1961 / Having spent 21 seasons in Sunday League 3, RKSV FCV now finishes 12th in Sunday League 3D, resulting in relegation to Sunday League 4.
• 1963 / Finishing 12th in District South II’s Sunday League 4F, RKSV FCV descends into Afdeling Limburg Division 1, the feeder league of League 4, for the first time in club history.
• 1968 / FCV manages a return to Sunday League 4, having spent five seasons in Afdeling Limburg.
• 1973 / Abandoning their ground at Boswachtersweg, RKSV FCV moves to the newly laid-out Sportpark Arenborg at Lovendaalseweg – in fact situated very close to the former Terrein Arenborgweg, the location where the club started its life in 1932.
• 1981 / Finishing runners-up in Sunday League 4G, FCV is placed in Sunday League 3 due to extra promotion places being available. It marks the return of the club at this level after an absence of 20 years.
• 1982 / Having held a successful lottery, RKSV FCV has the financial resources to add a board room as well as a youth home to their clubhouse. Seven years later, new dressing rooms are added to the set-up.
• 1983 / Winning the title in District South II’s Sunday League 3D – the club’s first-ever title in the regular KNVB divisions – FCV accedes to League 2 for the first time. The following season, the club manages an impressive 2nd place in Sunday League 2B.
• 1989 / Having spent six seasons in League 2, FCV now finishes 11th in Sunday League 2B, thus dropping back into League 3. Also in 1989, promising 19-year-old midfielder Geert Braem, who had made his debut in the club’s flagship team two years previously, is signed by professional league side Helmond Sport, where he will spend two seasons. Braem goes on to have a rather long career in the professional leagues, successively playing at VVV (1991-95), SC Eindhoven (1995-96), returning to Helmond Sport (1996-97), and lastly Go Ahead Eagles (1997-99). 
• 1990 / Winning the title in Sunday League 3D, RKSV FCV manages a return to League 2 after just one year.
• 1992 / FCV finishes runners-up in Sunday League 2B, repeating that achievement in 1993 and 1996 – but without winning promotion on either of those occasions.
• 1997 / Having spent the previous four seasons in the top half of League 2, FCV now finishes second-last in Sunday League 2H, dropping back into League 3.
• 1998 / Finishing 11th in Sunday League 3D, FCV suddenly finds itself in League 4 following a second relegation in a row.
• 2001 / Having spent the previous two years at vv VOS – following his withdrawal from professional league football – Geert Braem returns to FCV, spending his last season as a football player at his old club, finally hanging up his boots following the 2001-02 season.
• 2007 / Dead-last in Sunday League 4F at the end of the 2006-07 season, FCV descends into Sunday League 5 – the level below League 4 since a thorough reorganisation of the league ladder in 1996 – for the first time in club history.
• 2013 / Finishing 3rd in Sunday League 5F, RKSV FCV qualifies for the promotion play-offs, defeating SVOC ’01 (6-1) and SV Kronenberg (0-1) to return to League 4 after six years.
• 2017 / Clinching the title in District South II’s Sunday League 4D, 12 points ahead of SVC 2000, FCV wins promotion to League 3 for the first time since the turn of the century.

• 2019 / Clinching the title in District South II’s Sunday League 4G, 13 points ahead of runners-up RKSV Stormvogels ’28, FCV manages a return to League 3 level.
• 2026 / RKSV FCV moves away from Sportpark Arenborg, settling at Sportpark Herungerberg as groundsharers with VVV ’03 – although each club has its own main pitch, with FCV taking the place of hockey club VHC, which merged with THC and HCB to become HC Delta Venlo in 2020, abandoning the premises at that point. The last first team match at Sportpark Arenborg was on May 10th, 2026, against vv Mifano (2-0), with the inaugural match at Sportpark Herungerberg taking place on May 17th, against SV Lierop (2-4).

Timeline

• 1945 / Foundation of a football club in Blerick, VCH (Voetbalclub Horsterweg). In fact, VCH was the refoundation of ‘Eigen Teelt’ a recreational team from Horsterweg in Blerick which in the pre-war years took on teams from other neighbourhoods, most notably the soldiers of the nearby army base. The founding fathers of VCH, Jo Canjels and Jan Rademakers, filed a request at the official Netherlands’ Football Association (KNVB) to be admitted as new members in May 1945, adding a list of three suggested club names (ERDAL, “Elf Rappe Duivels Achter Leer” / Maasvogels / SCH = “Sportclub Horsterweg”), all of which are turned down.

• 1969 / Finishing bottom of the table in Sunday League 3D, VCH drops back into League 4.
• 1971 / Finishing bottom of the table in Sunday League 4G, VCH drops back into Afdeling Limburg Division 1, a level at which the club last played 23 years back; it constitutes the club’s third relegation in the scope of four years. Also in 1971, having played at Terrein Zoarbrook for fourteen years, VCH moves to the newly laid-out Sportpark Maassenhof at Langvenweg in Boekend, a hamlet just to the west of Blerick.
• 1975 / VCH drops back yet another level, now finding itself in Afdeling Limburg Division 2. The stay at that level lasts for one season only, though, with promotion following in 1976.

Timeline

• 1920 / Foundation of Americase Voetbalvereeniging (AVV) America (following the 1934 orthography change spelled as Americase Voetbalvereniging America). The club may have started its life on a pitch referred to locally at Terrein De Perdsvotten, but several ground moves were made in subsequent decades which have not been documented properly.
• 1940 / Probably having played in RKLVB (Rooms-Katholieke Limburgse Voetbalbond) until World War II, AVV America joins the regular Netherlands’ Football Association as German occupation authorities demand the abolition of all other football associations.
• 1948 / Having played in KNVB Afdeling Limburg (more commonly referred to as Limburgse Voetbalbond or LVB), the association of clubs in Limburg playing below Sunday League 4, AVV America now wins promotion to Sunday League 4 for the first time.
• 1950 / In the best season in club history, AVV America wins the title in District South II’s Sunday League 4F, but misses out on promotion in a round of promotion-relegation play-offs against fellow League 4 champions JVC Cuijk and League 3 clubs RKSV Montagnards and vv Boxmeer, with the last-mentioned club assuring itself of a prolonged stay in League 3. In the following years, AVV America remains a force to be reckoned with in League 4, with runner-up finishes in 1951 (in League 4F) and 1955 (in League 4G).
• 1957 / Finishing 12th in Sunday League 4F, AVV America drops back into Afdeling Limburg after nine years.
• ± 1959 / Abandoning Terrein De Perdsvotten, AVV America moves to a temporary pitch, Terrein Zwarte Plak.
• 1963 / Abandoning Terrein Zwarte Plak, the soil of which was too wet for a football pitch, AVV America settles at the newly built Sportpark Erica, which is inaugurated officially in the following year.
• 1968 / The outbuildings of Sportpark Erica so far having consisted of just dressing rooms, an extension to the building now sees the inauguration of a clubhouse.
• 1971 / Having spent the fourteen previous seasons in Afdeling Limburg, AVV America manages a return to Sunday League 4.
• 1972 / The clubhouse at Sportpark Erica is extended to give it its current lay-out.
• 1980 / After nine consecutive seasons in District South II’s Sunday League 4 – with the 1975-76 season seeing the club’s best performance, a 3rd place in League 4H – AVV America drops back into Afdeling Limburg Division 1 following a 13th place in League 4H.
• 1996 / In a reorganisation of the non-league pyramid, which sees the abolition of all regional KNVB football associations below Sunday League 4, AVV America is placed in the newly created Sunday League 5.
• 1998 / AVV America descends into Sunday League 6.
• 2011 / Having played in District South II’s Sunday League 6 for the past 13 seasons, AVV America now finishes 4th in Sunday League 6D, qualifying for the promotion play-offs in the last match of the season, defeating RKDSO (5-0). In the play-offs, the club finishes second in a group of three, ahead of vv Racing Boys, but behind SV Grashoek. In a lucky-loser round, the club finishes first in a group with SC Sint Hubert and SV Maaskantse Boys, thus winning promotion to Sunday League 5 through the back door.
• 2012 / Keen to bring about a merger between RKSV Meterik and AVV America, municipal authorities of Horst aan de Maas suggest the construction of a new sports park for both clubs, to be built halfway between the two villages.
• 2014 / Finishing second-last in Sunday League 5E, AVV America drops back into Sunday League 6 along with bottom club vv Racing Boys. Also in 2014, AVV America signs a partnership deal with RKSV Meterik, involving the merger of youth teams – evolving into a fully-fledged shared youth academy in the following years.
• 2015 / Clinching the title in Sunday League 6C, 4 points ahead of closest rivals SV Brandevoort, AVV America returns to Sunday League 5 after just one season.

Defeating SV Rood Wit ’62 in the final (5-4 aggregrate, with the 4-3 winner in the home game being scored in the last minute of extra time), the club manages a return to Sunday League 4 after 38 years.
• 2020 / Unable to find a suitable location for a new park for the projected merger club of RKSV Meterik and AVV America – the projected location at Schiksedijk turning out to be unavailable due to an unwillingness on the part of its owner, the Netherlands’ Ministry of Infrastructure and Water Management, to cede it to the municipality of Horst – municipal authorities suggest a thorough renovation of RKSV Meterik’s Sportpark De Vonckel. Thereupon, AVV America’s membership votes down the merger, preferring to continue independently at Sportpark Erica. It should be pointed out that the youth academies of both clubs continue to work together.
• 2021 / Following the COVID lockdown, which saw a large part of AVV America’s first team hang up their boots, the club decides to withdraw its first team from regular league football, preferring to continue with just teams in the reserves’ leagues.
• 2023 / RKSV Meterik’s completely revamped Sportpark De Vonckel is inaugurated in the fall of 2023. Meanwhile, in America, the clubhouse of Sportpark Erica is also renovated, with municipal authorities covering part of the costs involved.
• 2024 / AVV America returns to first team football after an absence of three years, starting the 2024-25 season in District South II's Sunday League 5D.

Timeline

• 1918 / Foundation of a first football club in Wanroij, which is given the name Willem I. The club finds a pitch on a piece of farmland referred to as Terrein De Hoeke. The existence of Willem I is short-lived, though, with dissolution following around 1920.
• 1925 / Refoundation of Willem I under the newly chosen name Roomsch-Katholieke Voetbalvereeniging (RKVV) Constantia. The founding fathers of the new club are Tiny Tillemans, Thijs Prinsen, and Marinus van den Hoogen. The first chairman is Piet van den Hulsbeek. The club, which joins Roomsch-Katholieke Voetbalbond Den Bosch, a Roman-Catholic football association, is placed in Kring Maasbuurt Division 2 of that association’s league pyramid. Having played its first tentative matches at Terrein De Nor in May 1925, the club soon finds a new, more suitable pitch at Terrein Bergen. 
• 1928 / Having remained inactive for most of the previous year due to the absence of a suitable pitch, RKVV Constantia moves to Terrein Lambertus van Duren in September 1928, only to move on to Terrein P.

• 1936 / Managing a respectable 4th place in IVCB (Interdiocesane Voetbal-Competitie-Bond) Division 3, RKVV Constantia also wins the so-called Bisschopsbeker, a cup competition, by defeating vv Gemert in the final played in Mill. 
• 1940 / IVCB as well as all Roman-Catholic football leagues are disbanded at the behest of German occupation authorities.

• 1968 / Having played at Terrein Dorpsstraat for the past sixteen years, RKVV Constantia settles on a temporary pitch at the local recreation park De Bergen, while a new municipal ground is being prepared for the club at Kwikstraat – in fact right next to the old pitches at Dorpsstraat.
• 1969 / Having finished runners-up behind RKSV Odiliapeel the previous season, RKVV Constantia now wins the title in Afdeling Noord-Brabant Division 2 after winning a set of two tie-break matches against RKSV Festilent – the second of which, played at SES’ ground in Langenboom, is attended by over 2,000 spectators. As such, Constantia manages a return to D1 after five years.
• 1970 / Having spent two seasons at De Bergen, RKVV Constantia moves into the newly built Terrein Kwikstraat. On June 12th, 1970, the inaugural ceremony having been performed by Wanroij’s mayor, Mr Smulders, the first match to be played on the new pitch is a friendly encounter between a regional selection of players from local non-league clubs playing League 2 team vv Boxmeer. The old pitch at Dorpsstraat is replaced by facilities for the local handball and tennis clubs.
• 1975 / RKVV Constantia celebrates its 50th anniversary with a gala match against a team of Roman-Catholic broadcaster KRO, which includes celebrities such as Ad Langebent, Berend Boudewijn, and Aad van den Heuvel. No fewer than 1,700 spectators witness an emphatic 14-0 win for Constantia.
• ± 1977 / Although definite proof is sadly missing, RKVV Constantia’s board must have officially dropped the reference to the Roman-Catholic origins of the club in the late 1970s or early 1980s (but certainly before 1987), with the club name being adapted to become Wanroijse Voetbalvereniging (WVV) Constantia.
• 1980 / Defeating HBV (3-1) in a home match attended by 1,264 spectators, WVV Constantia wins the title in Afdeling Noord-Brabant Division 1, thus managing a return to KNVB Sunday League 4 after 19 years.

• 1987 / Terrein Kwikstraat is officially renamed Sportpark De Kwik, with ‘kwik’ being a reference to the local dialect word for a ‘breeder’ or ‘grower’ (‘kweker’ in regular Dutch) – Kwikstraat had been given that name because the soil used to be part of a local breeding farm. 
• 1990 / Winning the title in Afdeling Noord-Brabant Division 2 following a 2-1 defeat of RKVV Fiducia (goals by Peter van den Broek and Willie Donkers), WVV Constantia finds its way back to Division 1. Also in 1990, Sportpark De Kwik’s main pitch is adorned with a small covered stand. 
• 1991 / WVV Constantia drops back into Afdeling Noord-Brabant Division 2 following a last place in Division 1.
• 1992 / Defeating SV Milsbeek in a tie-break match, WVV Constantia wins promotion to Afdeling Noord-Brabant Division 1. The stay at that level does not last longer than one season, though, with relegation following in 1993.

• 2019 / WVV Constantia finishes 12th in Sunday League 3D, with just RKSV Ulysses and RKSV MULO gathering fewer points. Having to play a round of play-offs to stay in League 3, Constantia is unable to stay up, thus finding itself back in League 4 after just one season.
• 2020 / In the 2019-20 season, broken off in the early spring of 2020 due to the COVID lockdown, WVV Constantia finishes the season in second place, thus being deprived of the opportunity to fight for a return to League 3.

• 2023 / With just SV Vitesse ’08 behind them, WVV Constantia finishes in 11th place in District South II’s Sunday League 3D with only 10 points. Having to save its skin in the play-offs, the club defeats RKSVO (1-2), but loses the final due to a last-minute goal away at vv Alem (3-2) – thus again dropping back into League 4 after one season only.
• 2024 / Finishing in ninth place in District South II's Sunday League 4H, WVV Constantia has to play relegation play-offs to assure itself of a prolonged stay at this level. Drawing a bye in R1, the club goes on to win the tie against vv Boskant (3-2 aggr.), thus staying up in League 4.
• 2026 / Finishing in tenth place in District South II's Sunday League 4G, WVV Constantia avoids the drop by winning a promotion-relegation play-off against vv Bavos (2-1).
