'''Football Club Volendam''' ({{IPA|nl|ˌvoːlə(n)ˈdɑm}}) is a professional [[association football|football]] club based in [[Volendam]], Netherlands. They play in the [[Eredivisie]], the top tier of the [[Dutch football league system]], following promotion from the [[Eerste Divisie]] in the [[2024–25 Eerste Divisie|2024–25 season]]. Nicknamed "de Palingboeren", the club was founded as Victoria in 1920, changed its name to RKSV Volendam in 1923 and emerged as an exclusively professional club, FC Volendam, in 1977, following a split from its parent club. The team plays its home matches in the 6,984-capacity [[Kras Stadion]], where it has been based since 1975.

The club has a reputation as the ''heen-en-weer club'' ("the back-and-forth club") due to its numerous [[Promotion and relegation|promotions and relegations]] between the first and second tiers of [[Football in the Netherlands|Dutch football]].<ref name="hbv" /> They had achieved ten promotions to the [[Eredivisie]]; a record.<ref>{{cite web |title=FC Volendam gaat op voor tiende promotie |url=https://www.ad.nl/nederlands-voetbal/fc-volendam-gaat-op-voor-tiende-promotie~aa2d3fa4/ |publisher=[[Algemeen Dagblad]] |access-date=6 September 2020 |language=nl |date=3 May 2013 |archive-date=11 March 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230311004653/https://www.ad.nl/nederlands-voetbal/fc-volendam-gaat-op-voor-tiende-promotie~aa2d3fa4/ |url-status=live }}</ref>

==History==
===Beginnings (1920–1955)===
''Football Club Volendam'' was founded as ''Victoria'' on 1 June 1920 by local fishermen. By 1923, the club was renamed to ''RKSV Volendam'', simply known as '''Volendam''' and its official orange colours were established after having been red and black the previous years. Being from the piously catholic village of [[Volendam]],<ref>{{cite web |last1=Nissen |first1=Peter |title=...Het katholieke karakter van Volendam |url=https://www.trouw.nl/nieuws/het-katholieke-karakter-van-volendam~b89028c5/ |publisher=[[Trouw]] |access-date=6 September 2020 |date=15 January 2001 |archive-date=12 July 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240712164114/https://www.trouw.nl/voorpagina/het-katholieke-karakter-van-volendam~b89028c5/ |url-status=live }}</ref> the club soon joined the ''[[:nl:Roomsch-Katholieke Federatie van Roomsch-Katholieke Voetbalbonden in Nederland|Roomsch-Katholieke Federatie (RKF)]]'' ("Catholic Football Association") of the Netherlands. In 1935 and 1938, Volendam won that competition until, in 1940 as part of the [[World War II|Second World War]], the RKF was forced by the [[Netherlands in World War II#German occupation|German occupation]] to merge into the [[Royal Dutch Football Association]] (KNVB).<ref name="hbv">{{cite web |title=Volendam – Historie Betaald Voetbal |url=http://historiebetaaldvoetbal.nl/volendam/ |website=historiebetaaldvoetbal.nl |access-date=6 September 2020 |archive-date=12 July 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240712164108/https://historiebetaaldvoetbal.nl/volendam/ |url-status=live }}</ref> After the Second World War, Volendam played in the [[Tweede Klasse]] for a long time, despite being close to promotion several times. [[Professionalism in association football|Professionalism]] was introduced in the Netherlands in 1954 and as a result, Volendam saw many players leave. For example, [[AZ Alkmaar|Alkmaar '54]] signed the brothers Klaas, Evert and Thoom Smit from the club.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Hageman |first1=Esther |title=Klaas Smit 1930-2008 |url=https://www.trouw.nl/nieuws/klaas-smit-1930-2008~b2b53984/ |publisher=[[Trouw]] |access-date=6 September 2020 |date=5 March 2008 |archive-date=1 October 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201001055042/https://www.trouw.nl/nieuws/klaas-smit-1930-2008~b2b53984/ |url-status=live }}</ref>

===Professionalism (1955–1969)===
[[File:Dick Tol 1967.jpg|thumb|[[Dick Tol]] in 1967, his final year in Volendam. He is the club's all-time top scorer.]]
A year later, in 1955, Volendam also entered professional football by means of the issue of bonds. Volendam ended its first season in third place and thus qualified for the first season of the second-tier [[Eerste Divisie]]; [[1956–57 Eerste Divisie|1956–57]]. In the 1958–58 [[KNVB Cup]], Volendam reached the final by beating [[MVV Maastricht|MVV]] 1–3 in the semi-final. [[Sparta Rotterdam|Sparta]], however, proved too strong there, and Volendam finished runners-up.<ref>{{cite news |title=Sparta wint de KNVB-beker |url=https://www.dekrantvantoen.nl/vw/article.do?id=LC-19580627-7002&vw=org&lm=voetbal,beker,final,sparta,volendam,0,NVHN,LC&v2=true |access-date=6 September 2020 |work=Leeuwarder Courant |date=27 June 1958}}</ref> The [[1958–59 Eerste Divisie|following season]], Volendam became champions in the Eerste Divisie A and thus promoted to the top-tier [[Eredivisie]] for the first time in club history. However, the euphoria was short-lived, and after one season at the highest level, the club suffered relegation again. Soon, the club had established its reputation as the ''Heen-en-weer club'' ("the back-and-forth club") due to its numerous [[Promotion and relegation|promotions and relegations]] between the first and second tiers of [[Football in the Netherlands|Dutch football]].<ref name="hbv" /> Head coach [[Bram Appel]] piloted Volendam back to the Eredivisie within one season, honouring the club's new nickname. This time, however, the stay at the highest level was longer than one season. [[Forward (association football)|Striker]] [[Dick Tol]], who would become the club's all-time top goalscorer, became the top goalscorer of the [[1961–62 Eredivisie]] with 27 goals.<ref>{{cite web |title=Eredivisiestats.nl - topscorers |url=http://www.eredivisiestats.nl/topscorers.php |website=www.eredivisiestats.nl |access-date=6 September 2020 |archive-date=25 July 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200725025856/http://www.eredivisiestats.nl/topscorers.php |url-status=live }}</ref> After three seasons in the Eredivisie, the club once again suffered relegation in the [[1963–64 Eredivisie|1963–64 season]]. The third promotion for Volendam took place in [[1966–67 Eerste Divisie|1967]] under the English manager [[Ron Dellow]]. That season also marked Dick Tol's final season before retiring, as he became top goalscorer of the Eerste Divisie.

===1970s and 1980s===
History was written in FC Volendam history in December 1971. The Portuguese [[Walter Ferreira]] signed a one-and-a-half-year contract with the club, making him their first foreign player. Despite this, Volendam suffered relegated to the Eerste Divisie in that season. The following season, [[1972–73 Eerste Divisie|1972–73]], in which Ferreira became club top scorer with 11 goals, Volendam narrowly missed out on promotion to the highest level. In the deciding match against [[De Graafschap]], a draw was enough, but the club lost 1–0. Volendam then played in the Eerste Divisie for the first time for more than three consecutive seasons. Only in [[1976–77 Eerste Divisie|1976–77]] promotion was again achieved after play-offs. The club then split into a professional club, '''FC Volendam''', and an amateur club '''RKAV Volendam''' in July 1977, marking the birth of the club known as Volendam today.<ref>{{cite web |title=FC Volendam speelt met speciaal logo vanwege 100-jarig bestaan |url=https://www.nhnieuws.nl/nieuws/270691/fc-volendam-speelt-met-speciaal-logo-vanwege-100-jarig-bestaan |publisher=NH Nieuws |access-date=6 September 2020 |language=nl |date=29 July 2020}}</ref> After seventh and seventeenth places, respectively, in [[1977–78 Eredivisie|1977–78]] and [[1978–79 Eredivisie|1978–79]], the club relegated again. In 1982, [[Fritz Korbach]] was appointed as head coach. He was Volendam's first German manager and had previously successfully led [[FC Wageningen]] and [[PEC Zwolle]] to the Eredivisie. This turned out to be a perfect move, as he also led Volendam to the highest level in the [[1982–83 Eerste Divisie|1982–83 season]]. As their former stay in the Eredivisie, they last two seasons before suffering another relegation. Under the guidance of new head coach [[Jan Brouwer]], Volendam again became champions of the Eerste Divisie in the [[1986–87 Eerste Divisie|1986–87 season]] and thus promoted back to the Eredivisie. In the autumn, an ambitious plan ensured Volendam salvation from financial ruin, which had threatened the club's existence for some years.<ref name="historie">{{cite web|url=http://fcvolendam.nl/clubinfo/historie|title=Historie FC Volendam|publisher=FC Volendam|access-date=6 September 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161017171721/http://fcvolendam.nl/clubinfo/historie|archive-date=17 October 2016}}</ref>

Throughout the years, Volendam spawned many talented players, such as [[Wim Jonk]], [[Edwin Zoetebier]], [[Arnold Mühren|Arnold]] and [[Gerrie Mühren]]. The club also has an accomplished scouting and youth system, which spreads across many different countries.

===Golden years (1987–1997)===
In the [[1989–90 Eredivisie|1989–90 Eredivisie season]], Volendam achieved its best result ever by sixth in the table with 39 points. Three seasons later, the feat was repeated and sixth place was achieved once again. In [[1994–95 KNVB Cup|1995]], FC Volendam reached the final of the [[KNVB Cup]] for the second time. This time, the opponent was [[Feyenoord]] at their home ground, [[De Kuip]] on 25 May. Volendam lost the match 2–1 after conceding goals by [[Gaston Taument]] and [[Michael Obiku]]. [[André Wasiman]] scored the sole goal for FC Volendam. Among the 7,000 travelling away fans from Volendam in De Kuip at that time were also [[Kees Kwakman]] and [[Jack Tuijp]], who would later both make more than 100 appearances for FC Volendam themselves.<ref>{{cite web |title=Bekerfinale 1995: Twee keer niets voor Kees Kwakman |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jisqi06rnVE |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/varchive/youtube/20211221/Jisqi06rnVE |archive-date=2021-12-21 |url-status=live|publisher=KNVB |access-date=6 September 2020 |date=23 January 2017}}{{cbignore}}</ref> For the first time in many years, Volendam managed stay in the Eredivisie for a longer period. From 1987 to 1998. the club played continuously at the highest level.<ref name="historie" />

===Ups and downs in the second tier (2009–present)===
[[File:FC Volendam kampioen 2008.jpg|thumb|Winning the [[2007–08 Eerste Divisie]].]]
In [[2008–09 Eredivisie|2009]], FC Volendam suffered its latest relegation from the Eredivisie. In the [[2007–08 Eredivisie|2007–08 season]], Volendam had won the Eerste Divisie championship under the leadership of former professional footballer [[Stanley Menzo]], who had secured the club's participation in the highest division in the following season. Menzo, however, did not extend his contract, which meant that [[Frans Adelaar]] took over as new head coach for the [[2008–09 Eredivisie|2008–09 season]].<ref>{{cite web |title=Adelaar nieuwe trainer Volendam |url=https://www.ed.nl/overig/adelaar-nieuwe-trainer-volendam~ac0bd987/ |publisher=Eindhovens Dagblad |access-date=6 September 2020 |language=nl |date=6 March 2008 |archive-date=15 August 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230815145647/https://www.ed.nl/overig/adelaar-nieuwe-trainer-volendam~ac0bd987/ |url-status=live }}</ref> On 10 May 2009, the last matchday of the season, Volendam suffered relegated to the Eerste Divisie once again, after [[De Graafschap]] drew (2–2) and Roda JC's beat Feyenoord (2–3).<ref>{{cite web |title=Eredivisie 2009: pechvogel Volendam degradeert |url=https://www.vi.nl/nieuws/eredivisie-2009-pechvogel-volendam-degradeert |publisher=[[Voetbal International]] |access-date=6 September 2020 |date=10 May 2009 |archive-date=15 August 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230815145453/https://www.vi.nl/nieuws/eredivisie-2009-pechvogel-volendam-degradeert |url-status=live }}</ref> The following season was dramatic for Volendam: they finished in 16th place in the second tier. In the [[2010–11 Eerste Divisie|2010–11 season]], Volendam was led by head coach [[Gert Kruys]], who had come over from [[FC Dordrecht]]. Volendam finished in 6th place in his first season. In the following season, Volendam did not win a ''period title'' for the first time in a long time, which cost Kruys his job at the club.<ref>{{cite web |title=FC Volendam verrast trainer Kruys met ontslag |url=https://www.nu.nl/voetbal/2757209/fc-volendam-verrast-trainer-kruys-met-ontslag.html |website=www.nu.nl |access-date=6 September 2020 |date=6 March 2012 |archive-date=15 August 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230815145438/https://www.nu.nl/voetbal/2757209/fc-volendam-verrast-trainer-kruys-met-ontslag.html |url-status=live }}</ref> Between 2012 and 2015 and again between 2018 and 2019, the club was led by [[Hans de Koning]], who had come over from [[Helmond Sport]] the first time.<ref>{{cite web |title=Hans de Koning wordt trainer van FC Volendam |url=https://www.nhnieuws.nl/nieuws/78583/ |publisher=NH Nieuws |access-date=6 September 2020 |language=nl |date=21 April 2012 |archive-date=15 August 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230815165134/https://www.nhnieuws.nl/nieuws/78583/ |url-status=live }}</ref> In the [[2012–13 Eerste Divisie|2012–13 season]], Volendam finished in 2nd place after losing its last game to [[Go Ahead Eagles]]. They were then defeated again by Go Ahead Eagles in the final of the playoffs for promotion.<ref>{{cite web |title=Go Ahead Eagles bezorgt Volendam weer nachtmerrie |url=https://www.vi.nl/nieuws/go-ahead-eagles-bezorgt-volendam-weer-nachtmerrie |publisher=[[Voetbal International]] |access-date=6 September 2020 |date=23 May 2013 |archive-date=15 August 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230815145853/https://www.vi.nl/nieuws/go-ahead-eagles-bezorgt-volendam-weer-nachtmerrie |url-status=live }}</ref> In that season, Volendam also managed to win a ''period title''. Due to missing out on promotion, Volendam, for the first time since the start of the Eerste Divisie (1956), competed for more than five consecutive seasons at division 2. In the [[2014–15 Eerste Divisie|2014–15 season]], Volendam again lost in the final of the promotion play-offs by losing 0–1 to De Graafschap at home, after the first leg had finished 0–0 in [[Doetinchem]].<ref>{{cite web |title=Vermeij schiet De Graafschap terug naar Eredivisie |url=https://www.vi.nl/nieuws/vermeij-schiet-de-graafschap-terug-naar-eredivisie |publisher=[[Voetbal International]] |access-date=6 September 2020 |date=31 May 2015 |archive-date=15 August 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230815145701/https://www.vi.nl/nieuws/vermeij-schiet-de-graafschap-terug-naar-eredivisie |url-status=live }}</ref>
