The VV Hoogeveen (full name: Voetbalvereniging Hoogeveen , German football club Hoogeveen ) is an amateur football club from Hoogeveen in the Dutch province of Drenthe, founded on April 29, 1930 . The club has around 7,000 members and has played its home games in Bentinckspark since 1969.
Teams
In the club there are football teams of both Saturday and Sunday amateurs. Amateur football is divided into these categories in the Netherlands, as there are many players in the Christian regions of the Netherlands who do not want to play on Sundays for religious reasons. There are a total of eight men's teams, five of which belong to the Sunday amateurs area and three to the Saturday amateurs area. VV Hoogeveen also has two teams in women's football (only on Saturdays) and three in futsal . Futsal is not separated by day of the week in the Netherlands, as the games are mostly played in the evenings during the week.
The 1st team of the Sunday amateurs of VV Hoogeveen will play in the Eerste Klasse , the fifth highest Dutch league, in the 2014/15 season , after being relegated from the Hoofdklasse in the previous season. The Saturday amateurs play in the 2014/15 season in the Vierde Klasse , which is the eighth highest (and second lowest) league. The women's team, which was only reintroduced at the end of 2013, has only been playing again since summer 2014 and thus plays in the lowest league, the Vijfde class Zaterdag .
history
In 1930 some smaller Hoogeveener football clubs merged under the name Hoogeveense Boys . This club, which was renamed VV Hoogeveen in 1943, only provided teams in the field of Sunday amateurs at that time.
The club experienced its best years in the 1970s. 1973 the Noordelijke districtsbeker was won, whereby the club was able to participate in the KNVB Cup for the first time . The following year VV Hoogeveen rose to the Hoofd class for the first time. This was the highest amateur league at the time. 1978 was with the championship of Hoofdklasse B and the subsequent victory of the Dutch amateur championship in Sunday football under coach Bas Paauwe jr. the greatest success in the club's history. During the games for the amateur championship VV Hoogeveen played with the substitute goalkeeper, as the then regular goalkeeper Sies Wever , who was active as a professional between 1970 and 1976, demanded 7500 guilders . In the opinion of the board and the coach, this contradicted the amateur idea and Wever left the club.
VV Hoogeveen was able to stay in the Hoofd class until 1982 and also played in this class from 1984 to 1991. In the late 1990s, VV Hoogeveen became an elevator crew. The club rose between 1996 and 2001, coming from the Tweede class, twice in a row, then relegated twice in a row and then promoted twice in a row. The Hoofd class could be held until 2005. VV Hoogeveen Hoofdklasse also played between 2010 and 2014, although with the introduction of the top class it was only the fourth highest class.
Relationship to other clubs in the city
In addition to VV Hoogeveen, there is another successful association in the city called HZVV . There are seldom direct encounters between the two teams in league operations, as the HZVV is only active in the field of Saturday amateurs and always plays and played several leagues above VV Hoogeveen. Encounters between the two teams take place mainly in the youth area.
VV Hoogeveen and HZVV organize a joint tournament in summer ( Offerein Bokaal , better known as Kampioenschap van Hoogeveen (Championship van Hoogeveen)), with all other teams in the city of Hoogeveen competing in addition to these two teams.

Stadion
Having played in the immediate vicinity in the early days on alternating squares of VV Hoogeveen wore from 1939 its home games at that time in the church ruins located Spaarbankbos out. It was necessary to move to the neighboring community, as sport was forbidden on Sunday in Hoogeveen, which is dominated by Christian parties. In the 1960s, however, the club reported more and more teams and space problems arose. After the local council gave up its strict stance against football on Sunday, the club moved in 1969 to the Bentinckspark rented by the city of Hoogeveen , which is located east of the city center, which was only separated from the HZVV site by a small street. Here was a stadium for 8,000 spectators (including 475 covered seats), which was replaced in 2012 by a new building for 6,000 spectators (including 500 covered seats and just as many covered standing places). In this new building, the grounds of VV Hoogeveen and HZVV were merged into a common sports park, on which there is a stadium for the two clubs in addition to a few adjacent places. The VV Hoogeveen stadium has a canteen, a business room and a conference room with a view of the field. It is equipped with a FIFA- certified artificial turf and a floodlight system.
