Home colours

FC Wageningen (before 1978 Wageningen and WVV Wageningen) was a Dutch football club which was founded on 27 August 1911.^[1]^,^[2] The club played its matches in the Wageningse Berg stadium.^[3]

History

FC Wageningen spent most of its history in the Eerste Divisie. In 1974 the club wrote history by reaching the Eredivisie for the first time ever. FC Wageningen finished 18th in the clubs first Eredivisie season and as such were relegated back to the Eerste Divisie immediately. In 1980 the club would get promoted to the Eredivisie again but once again finished last place the following season and as a result were relegated back to the Eerste Divisie again.

FC Wageningen had the reputation of a true cup fighter. Its first success came on 18 June 1939, when the team won the

DWV

. After the introduction the club would reach the semi-finals another four times, three of which were as a Eerste Divisie club.

Financially the club had always struggled, partially because certain commercial developments were passed through too late. Like how for example the club was one of the final ones to found a business-club. It was a success but came too late to give the club financial security. Main sponsor Schoenenreus went bankrupt and left the club. Eventually the club managed to reduce the debts to 500.000

VCV Zeeland disappeared from the Eerste Divisie. FC Wageningen played its last match in professional football in May 1992 against NAC Breda.^[4]

The amateur branch still exists as WVV Wageningen.
