'''Sportclub Cambuur''', most often styled '''SC Cambuur''' ({{IPA|nl|ɛsˈseː ˈkɑmbyːr}}) and sometimes '''Cambuur Leeuwarden''', is a Dutch professional [[Association football|football]] club in [[Leeuwarden]], the capital of [[Friesland]]. Founded on 19 June 1964, the team compete in the [[Eerste Divisie]], the second tier of the [[Dutch football league system]]. Since August 2024, they have played their home games at the 15,000‑seat [[Kooi Stadion]], a purpose‑built stadium that replaced [[Cambuur Stadion]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.thestadiumbusiness.com/2024/08/19/sc-cambuur-opens-up-new-stadium/|title=SC Cambuur opens up new stadium|website=thestadiumbusiness.com|date=19 August 2024}}</ref>

Cambuur play in yellow shirts and blue shorts, colours drawn from the coat of arms of the [[Cammingha]] family, whose heraldic lions also feature on the club crest. Organised as a member‑owned association, the club enjoys strong regional backing and contests the "Friese Derby" against neighbouring [[SC Heerenveen|sc Heerenveen]].

The club have won the second-tier [[Eerste Divisie]] three times ([[1991–92 Eerste Divisie|1991–92]], [[2012–13 Eerste Divisie|2012–13]] and [[2020–21 Eerste Divisie|2020–21]]) and spent a total of seven seasons in the top-tier [[Eredivisie]]. Away from the pitch Cambuur operate an accredited youth academy and the Cambuur Foundation, which runs grassroots sport and social‑inclusion programmes throughout Friesland.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Willis |first1=Craig |last2=Hughes |first2=Will |last3=Bober |first3=Sergiusz |title=ECMI Minorities Blog.

==History==
{{main| List of SC Cambuur seasons}}
[[File:Cambuur League Performance.png|thumb|280px|Historical chart of league performance]]
Founded in 1964, SC Cambuur has spent a total of nine seasons in the Dutch top flight, the [[Eredivisie]]. During the 1980s and 1990s, the club was a consistent contender in the [[Eerste Divisie]] promotion play-offs. Cambuur won the Eerste Divisie title in 1992 and earned promotion to the Eredivisie, but were relegated two seasons later following the [[1993–94 Eredivisie|1993–94 season]]. In 1998, the club returned to the Eredivisie, though they were again relegated after just two seasons, in the [[1999–2000 Eredivisie|1999–2000 season]].

The early 2000s proved turbulent, and in 2005 the club narrowly avoided bankruptcy. A period of restructuring began in 2006, and by 2010 Cambuur had achieved relative financial stability.

In 2009, Cambuur came close to promotion, narrowly losing a play-off to [[Roda JC Kerkrade|Roda JC]] on penalties. The following year, they finished second in the league and again missed promotion by a slim margin. The club attracted over 40,000 spectators during that year's play-offs, with an estimated 7,000 supporters gathering in [[Leeuwarden]]'s city centre to watch the decisive match against Roda on a large screen. The final match drew a record 1.4 million television viewers in the Netherlands, and the entire play-off series—featuring Cambuur, [[PEC Zwolle]], and Roda JC—was watched by more than 4.5 million people.

Cambuur won the Eerste Divisie title in the [[2012–13 Eerste Divisie|2012–13 season]], earning promotion to the Eredivisie for the [[2013–14 Eredivisie|2013–14 season]]. On 1 May 2016, they were relegated back to the Eerste Divisie after a 6–2 away defeat to [[PSV Eindhoven|PSV]].

In 2020, Cambuur were leading the Eerste Divisie when the season was voided due to the [[COVID-19 pandemic in the Netherlands|COVID-19 pandemic]], and the club was controversially denied promotion to the Eredivisie.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://eredivisie.nl/nl-nl/uitgelicht/afwikkeling-voetbalseizoen-201920-een-feit|title=AFWIKKELING VOETBALSEIZOEN 2019/'20 EEN FEIT|website=Eredivisie|access-date=2 June 2020|language=nl|archive-date=24 May 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210524145200/https://eredivisie.nl/nl-nl/uitgelicht/afwikkeling-voetbalseizoen-201920-een-feit|url-status=dead}}</ref>

The club returned to the top flight after winning the [[2020–21 Eerste Divisie]] title. In the [[2021–22 Eredivisie|2021–22 season]], Cambuur achieved a ninth-place finish—the highest league position in the club's history. However, the following campaign proved difficult, and on 6 May 2023, Cambuur were relegated back to the Eerste Divisie following a 3–0 away defeat to [[FC Utrecht]].<ref>{{Cite web |date=2023-05-06 |title=SC Cambuur degradeert na twee seizoenen naar de Keuken Kampioen… |url=https://eredivisie.nl/nieuws/sc-cambuur-degradeert-na-twee-seizoenen-naar-de-keuken-kampioen-divisie/ |access-date=2024-02-08 |website=Eredivisie |language=nl}}</ref>

==Supporters==
Cambuur has a group of [[ultras]], known as the M.I.-Side, who stand on the north and south stands at the Cambuur Stadion. The name derives from the street names in which the stands are built: ''M'' stands for Marathonstraat and ''I'' for Insulindestraat. Most of the hardcore fans of Cambuur are sitting close to the stand of the away fans on the northern side of the stadium. They are among the most notorious in the Netherlands. In the 2009–10 season, the average attendance was 8,600 fans per game, and more than 6,500 season tickets were sold. That was a new record for Cambuur, as these numbers were achieved while the club was in the second division but even higher than when it played in the Eredivisie. In the 2009–10 season, the club sold out six regular season matches with 10,000 fans per game, another milestone for the Leeuwarden-based club. Never before in the second division it had sold out that many regular season matches.
