Wikipedia - Koninklijke HFC
Koninklijke Haarlemsche Football Club (Royal Haarlem Football Club) is a football club based in Haarlem, Netherlands. It is the oldest existing club in Dutch football, founded by Pim Mulier in 1879. During the club's early years, the team only played rugby, but due to financial problems, they then switched to association football. The first official football match in the Netherlands was played in 1886 between HFC and Amsterdam Sport.
The club currently play in the Tweede Divisie (Second Division), a semi-professional tier re-established for the 2016–17 season, which is the third tier of the Dutch football pyramid and the highest non-pro league.
History
Koninklijke HFC was the first Dutch Rugby club, established on 15 September 1879 by the 14-year-old Pim Mulier, who first encountered the sport in 1870. However, HFC switched to association football in 1883. (The Delftsche Studenten Rugby Club was the first official rugby club on 24 September 1918.)
In 1899, they moved from their original ground "De Koekamp" to the "Spanjaardslaan", where they still play their home matches to this day. In that period, the Spanjaardslaan (Spaniard's Lane), the east–west road at the southern edge of the oldest public park of the Netherlands, was part of the neighbouring town of Heemstede, but switched back to be part of Haarlem in 1927.
The Netherlands national football team have played two international matches at the Spanjaardslaan. Both matches were versus Belgium, resulting in a 1–2 loss and a 7–0 win. In the past, HFC has contributed several players to the Netherlands national football team. Of those players, goalkeeper Gejus van der Meulen obtained the most caps, 54. At present, his grandson still plays for HFC.
Before the Dutch championship was officially established, HFC won three unofficial national titles:
- 1889–1890
- 1892–1893
- 1894–1895
Three times in the club's history they have won the KNVB Cup (1904, 1913 and 1915). In the cup competition of 1903–04, HFC beat VVV from Amsterdam 25–0, which still remains a record score in the Dutch cup competition.
The club was named Koninklijk (Royal) in 1959, 80 years after the club was founded. Since 1923, the first team of HFC plays the opening match of a new year versus a selection of former Dutch international players on 1 January.
Koninklijke HFC, often simply referred to as HFC, is one of the oldest and most prestigious football clubs in the Netherlands, founded in 1879. Based in Haarlem, the club has a rich history that reflects the evolution of Dutch football over the decades. The name "Koninklijke," meaning "Royal," was bestowed upon the club in recognition of its long-standing contributions to the sport.
HFC plays its home matches at the historic Sportpark HFC, a venue that has witnessed countless memorable moments in Dutch football. The club's colors, traditionally red and white, symbolize its deep-rooted heritage and passion for the game.
Throughout its history, HFC has been known for its commitment to developing young talent, fostering a strong youth academy that has produced numerous players who have gone on to achieve success at both national and international levels. The club's philosophy emphasizes skill, teamwork, and sportsmanship, making it a respected name in the football community.
In addition to its competitive spirit on the pitch, HFC is also dedicated to community engagement, promoting the sport at grassroots levels and encouraging participation among local youth. The club's loyal fan base, known for their unwavering support, creates an electric atmosphere during matches, making every game a celebration of football.
As HFC continues to build on its storied legacy, it remains a symbol of pride for the city of Haarlem and a key player in the landscape of Dutch football. Whether competing in league matches or cup competitions, Koninklijke HFC embodies the spirit of the game, striving for excellence while honoring its rich history.
