1897–1964: Wilhelmina and BVV

The football club Wilhelmina RKVV was founded as early as 1897 . He was followed ten years later by NOAD , which was soon renamed BVV (Bossche Voetbal Vereniging). In the middle of the 20th century, BVV in particular made a name for itself when it achieved good results every year. In 1948 the club even became Dutch champions. In this championship year the club did not play its home games in 's-Hertogenbosch, but played them in Heidelust in Vught . This success brought great euphoria to 's-Hertogenbosch and the city decided to build a new stadium with a larger capacity, which was inaugurated in 1951. After much discussion, paid football was introduced in the Netherlands in 1954. For a relatively small country like the Netherlands, the move to professional football meant high financial efforts by the individual clubs. Some clubs split up or formed anew to participate in professional football. BVV first played at the highest level of professional football, the Eredivisie . There, however, one could not build on the successes of the previous decade. In 1956/57 they scored 70 goals in 34 games - only five other clubs hit the opposing goal more often - nevertheless the club had to struggle with relegation for a long time and was only 15th of 18 teams. Even champions Ajax Amsterdam only managed 64 goals of their own this year. Another reason for the poor placement was that they conceded too many goals with 76. Only the three teams under the BVV often reached behind them. On December 9, 1956 and April 7, 1957, the club celebrated two notable victories. Against NAC Breda an 8-0 win was achieved, against NOAD Tilburg it was enough to win 6-0. On the other hand, there were always high defeats. BVV lost both games against Feyenoord Rotterdam with 1: 5 and 0: 5. The final crash occurred the following year. BVV was only able to score seven wins in the entire season and was thus beaten to the bottom of the table. The defense was even worse than in the previous season. 96 goals were the result. The biggest defeat of the season was on the eighth matchday, October 13, 1957, when the club went down 9-0 at MVV Maastricht . Because of a bribe affair, the club was immediately passed on to the Tweede Divisie .

1965–1998: Foundation and development of FC Den Bosch

In order to be able to offer attractive football again in 's-Hertogenbosch, a new club was founded on August 18, 1965. It emerged from the merger of BVV and Wilhelmina . After the club started the new season for the first time in 1965/66, it developed into an established club in the Eerste Divisie in the following years . In the 1970/71 season, the team lost only two games. Eventually the promotion to the Eredivisie succeeded and many fans dreamed of new golden times. But the first division adventure only lasted two years before it went back to the Eerste Divisie. Well-known players in the ranks of FC Den Bosch were Volker Graul , Kees Krijgh , Hans van der Pluym and Roberto Abruseze , the first Brazilian in professional football in the Netherlands. In the early 1980s, the club kept knocking on promotion to the Eredivisie. But it wasn't until 1983 that it succeeded. The FCDB was third and got through relegation to the Dutch House of Lords. In six seasons the club was never worse than tenth, but never better than sixth in 1984/85 and 1985/86. These were also the best placements in Dutch football in the club's history. The then coach Rinus Israël , who coached the team between 1984 and before he was poached by the league's top team Feyenoord Rotterdam , played a major role in this . In the summer of 1990, the club then slumped again and had to move into the second division. There, too, they had to fight in the first year after relegation from the Eredivisie and only finished seventeenth. However, the team made a name for itself in the cup competition for the KNVB Cup . As a second division team, they beat favorites Sparta Rotterdam 3-1 in front of their home crowd in the third round . In the quarter and semi-finals Vitesse Arnheim (0-0) and Roda JC Kerkrade (2-2) defied and forced them into a penalty shoot-out. Den Bosch moved into the final with 4: 3 and 4: 2 wins. Against Feyenoord Rotterdam, however, the club finally drew 0-1 and was left behind. After Hans van der Pluym took over the team in 1990, he succeeded in making changes in 1991/92 and led the team back to the first division. But they only stayed there for one season.

1999–2010: Third second division championship and elevator team

In the early 2000s, the team developed into an elevator team. Between 1999 and 2005 there were three ascents, compared to three descents. All three promotions come after the first place in the Eerste Divisie succeeded. At the same time, eleven coaches or coaching teams who looked after the players were worn out. Since 2005/06 the club has been back in second class. Every year he starts his ascent with ambitions without having done justice to them again. Only in 2007/08 they qualified again for the relegation games for promotion. After a 1-0 win against FC Zwolle , two defeats followed and thus the final relegation game against De Graafschap was missed . The 2009/10 season also got off to a bad start. It was not until the sixth match day that they managed a 4-3 win against FC Omniworld , which was to turn the game around. Up to and including the 17th matchday, the team remained undefeated and fought their way from 17th to fourth place. Loan striker Fabio Caracciolo , who scored fourteen goals during this period , played a particularly important role . In the second half of the season, the club kept the level of performance and finished the league in seventh place. With twelve draws in a total of 36 games, FC shared the most points in the league with the opposing teams. With the performance, the team qualified for the play-off games, but where they failed in the first round at Helmond Sport .

2011-today: Current development

2010/11 was ninth in the table. So you were again in the promotion round. of FC survived round one, but then lost to Excelsior Rotterdam .
