history

The association was founded on November 15, 1947 in Gelders Veenendaal , which until 1962 was part of the municipality of Ede directly on the border with Veenendaal and thus on the border between the provinces of Gelderland and Utrecht. At first the club was called GSV (Gelderse Sport Vereniging). In August 1948 he joined the Utrechtse Provinciale Voetbal Bond , the football association of the province of Utrecht, under the name GVV . Since a GVV from Geldermalsen was already registered here , Veenendaal was added to the name and the current name of the association GVVV was created.

The first team started in the third class of the province of Utrecht in 1948/49 and rose to the second class as champions. In 1954, the championship was promoted to the first provincial class and in the following two years the team was able to work its way up to the tweede class , the highest amateur league at the time , on a national level . Until 1976 the GVVV remained in the top amateur league. The descent was followed four years later by another championship and again the promotion to the now Eerste class B Saturday amateurs. 1985 GVVV was able to celebrate the departmental championship, but failed in the championship round to the Kozakken Boys and SV Spakenburg. In 1996 the Hoofd class was introduced as the new highest league of Saturday amateurs; GVVV was assigned to group A and was able to celebrate another departmental championship in the first season, in the year of its 50th anniversary. Relegation in 2004 was followed by direct resurgence, and in 2006 the team won the Districtsbeker , the regional cup competition played jointly by the Saturday and Sunday amateurs.

The top class was introduced in 2010 . GVVV initially missed the qualification for the new highest, two-track amateur league and played second class again for one season. But in the Hoofd class B the team was able to celebrate the championship again. GVVV rose again in 2011 to the highest amateur league, to the third highest level of play in the Netherlands. In the 2011/12 KNVB Cup , the team caused a stir with away wins over the Rotterdam professionals from SBV Excelsior and Sparta and reached the quarterfinals.
