===Merge (1955-1962)===
Roda JC Kerkrade came into being by the merger of several football clubs from Kerkrade. In 1954, [[SV Kerkrade]] (of 1926) and [[SV Bleijerheide]] (of 1914) merged to form [[Roda Sport]]. That same year, Rapid '54 (of 1954) and amateur club Juliana (of 1910) merged to form Rapid JC, which would go on to win the Dutch league in 1956. On June 27, 1962, Rapid JC and Roda Sport merged to form Roda JC. The current club is the result of the merger history involving no less than four clubs. Since being promoted to the [[Eredivisie]] in 1973, Roda JC hasn't been relegated. The club has reached the [[KNVB Cup]] final 5 times, winning it twice, in 1997 and 2000.

Few Dutch football clubs have such a complex history of mergers as Roda JC


===Struggling and staying at the top division (1963-94)===
⚫
===Merge===
After the merge they would start in the Eerste Divisie in the [[1962–63 Eerste Divisie|1962-63 season]], but would relegate immediately after finishing 16th. The following season they would almost promote back, but they lost in the promotion play-off and regained in the Tweede Divisie 8 years. After their promotion back to the Eerste Divisie it would only take two season to also promote to the Eredivisie, when they finished first.
The club is young and was created from several merges between clubs. The history starts with ''Kerkrade football club'' (of 1926) and ''Bleyerheide'' (of 1914), which became [[Roda Sport]] in 1954. In the same year ''Juliana'' (of 1910) and ''Rapid'' (of 1954) became Rapid JC. Rapid JC would play in the Eredivisie while Roda Sport starts in the new Eerste Divisie.


They are finally at the top division but did not manage to qualify for an European competition even though they finished in the top several times. They had only qualify for Europe once when they lost in the finals of the KNVB Cup in 1975, but they lost in the first round with 5-3 on aggerate against [[R.S.C. Anderlecht|Anderlecht]]. In the [[1986–87 Eredivisie|1986-87 season]] they'd finally finished at a desired spot for the [[Europa Cup]] play-offs in the Netherlands, but lost their spot against [[FC Utrecht]]. One year later they finished 15th and struggled to not relegate back to the Eerste Divisie. They did, however, lost in the finals of the KNVB Cup. And because [[PSV]] already got a spot for Europe because they one the Eredivisie, Roda JC would gain the spot in the Europa Cup. This would be the club's most memorable European campaign, when Roda made it through the winter in the European Cup Winners Cup before succumbing to the superb strikers of Bulgarian [[PFC CSKA Sofia]], [[Hristo Stoichkov]] and [[Emil Kostadinov]], who became superstars in Europe's major football leagues. Two years later they would finish 5th two times, but only once they gained an spot for an European competition. They would do good in the KNVB Cup because in [[1990–91 KNVB Cup|1990–91]] they got to the semi-finals and the year later even in the finals.
Both clubs wouldn't exist for long, and they would merge to Roda JC in 1962, starting in the Eerste Divisie. After eleven years Roda JC would promote to the Eredivisie where they would play ever since.


===Dutch and European success (1994-Present)===
Since their promotion to the highest level in 1973, Roda JC finished in the top ten of the Eredivisie more than twenty times. It is one of the select handful of clubs that regularly qualify themselves for European football and manifest themselves as tough opposition for the 'Traditional Three'. Roda, for one, reached their all-time high in the [[1994–95 Eredivisie|1994-1995]] season: the yellow and black side were the only team in the country not to lose to unbeaten national and European champions Ajax. Both league confrontations ended in 1–1 and Roda JC finished second in the Eredivisie, their best league achievement ever.
⚫
Since 1994 they managed to make several successes in both Europe and the Netherlands. Most notable is the 2nd place in the Eredivisie in 1994–95. They had also won the KNVB Cup twice in the 1996-97 season and 1999-2000 season. Due to all of this they qualified for several European competitions. Roda's most memorable European game was played on 28 February 2002. After a 0–1 defeat to [[AC Milan]] in Kerkrade, Roda caused panic at the [[San Siro]] by winning the return leg by the same score. Roda even took the lead in the penalty shoot-out, but ended up losing the series. One penalty away from eliminating AC Milan.


Since then they only had qualified twice for the [[Intertoto Cup]] in the [[2003–04 Eredivisie|2003-04]] and [[2004–05 Eredivisie|2004-05]] season. In later years they did manage to qualify for the play-offs but never had one the play-offs.
===European campaign===
⚫
The club's most memorable European campaign was in 1988–89, when Roda made it through the winter in the European Cup Winners Cup before succumbing to the superb strikers of Bulgarian [[PFC CSKA Sofia]]: [[Hristo Stoichkov]] and [[Emil Kostadinov]], who became superstars in Europe's major football leagues. Roda's most memorable European game, however, was played thirteen years later on 28 February 2002: after a 0–1 defeat to [[AC Milan]] in Kerkrade, Roda caused panic at the San Siro by winning the return leg by the same score. Roda even took the lead in the penalty shoot-out, but ended up losing the series. One penalty away from eliminating AC Milan.


Roda's position in Dutch football is best illustrated by their history in the KNVB Cup. Roda were good enough to make it to six finals, but the first three times and the last time the opponent in the final was one of the 'Big Three' – and Roda went home with the silver medal: PSV won in 1976 and 1988, Feyenoord in 1992 and 2008. In two of the club's cup finals, however, a 'non-Big Three' side was the opponent. Both times the cup went to Kerkrade: Heerenveen were beaten in 1997, NEC in 2000.

Sport Vereniging Roda Juliana Combinatie Kerkrade (Dutch pronunciation: [ˈspɔrt vərˈeːnəɣɪŋ ˈroːda jyˈliaːna kɔmbɪˈnaː(t)si ˈkɛrkˌraːdə]) (Limburgish: Sjport Verainiejoeng Roda Juliana Combinaatsiejoeën Kirchroa) , also known as Roda JC Kerkrade (Dutch pronunciation: [ˈroːda ˈjeː ˈseː ˈkɛrkˌraːdə]) (Limburgish: Roda JC Kirchroa) is a Dutch professional association football club located in Kerkrade, Netherlands. Roda JC Kerkrade plays in the Dutch Eredivisie. The club was founded after a merger between Rapid JC and Roda Sport in 1962. They were placed in the Eerste Divisie, and after a relegation they were promoted back to the top division in 1973, where they would stay ever since. In the 2009 season they added Kerkrade to their names so they would get financial support.

Roda are known as a "coal-miner's club". Fans of MVV, from the provincial capital of Maastricht, pronounce those words condescendingly, in Kerkrade and surroundings they are pronounced with pride. The last Dutch coal-mines were closed in the 1960s, but the Netherlands' most southern province, Limburg, is still referred to as the Mijnstreek ('mine district') today. The coal-mines are still industrious in folk songs in the regional dialect and in the stories of old miners, reminiscing of an era that will never return. Southern Limburg will always be their home. Their team, in most cases, is Roda JC.

Roda's club honours include seven European campaigns and six KNVB cup finals, of which two were won. One of the predecessors in Roda's "family tree" of mergers, Rapid JC, were champions of the Netherlands in 1956. Ten out of eleven players on that Rapid JC team were coal-miners.

History

The history of the forming of Roda JC.

Merge (1955-1962)

Roda JC Kerkrade came into being by the merger of several football clubs from Kerkrade. In 1954, SV Kerkrade (of 1926) and SV Bleijerheide (of 1914) merged to form Roda Sport. That same year, Rapid '54 (of 1954) and amateur club Juliana (of 1910) merged to form Rapid JC. Rapid JC was one of the success clubs at the time, winning the Championship play-off in 1956. In later years they would only finish in the top 10 once, when they finished second in the 1958-59 season. Roda Sport would only relegate to the Tweede Divisie and stay there untill the last merge between them and Rapid JC, to form Roda JC.

Struggling and staying at the top division (1963-94)

After the merge they would start in the Eerste Divisie in the 1962-63 season, but would relegate immediately after finishing 16th. The following season they would almost promote back, but they lost in the promotion play-off and regained in the Tweede Divisie 8 years. After their promotion back to the Eerste Divisie it would only take two season to also promote to the Eredivisie, when they finished first.

They are finally at the top division but did not manage to qualify for an European competition even though they finished in the top several times. They had only qualify for Europe once when they lost in the finals of the KNVB Cup in 1975, but they lost in the first round with 5-3 on aggerate against Anderlecht. In the 1986-87 season they'd finally finished at a desired spot for the Europa Cup play-offs in the Netherlands, but lost their spot against FC Utrecht. One year later they finished 15th and struggled to not relegate back to the Eerste Divisie. They did, however, lost in the finals of the KNVB Cup. And because PSV already got a spot for Europe because they one the Eredivisie, Roda JC would gain the spot in the Europa Cup. This would be the club's most memorable European campaign, when Roda made it through the winter in the European Cup Winners Cup before succumbing to the superb strikers of Bulgarian PFC CSKA Sofia, Hristo Stoichkov and Emil Kostadinov, who became superstars in Europe's major football leagues. Two years later they would finish 5th two times, but only once they gained an spot for an European competition. They would do good in the KNVB Cup because in 1990–91 they got to the semi-finals and the year later even in the finals.

Dutch and European success (1994-Present)

Since 1994 they managed to make several successes in both Europe and the Netherlands. Most notable is the 2nd place in the Eredivisie in 1994–95. They had also won the KNVB Cup twice in the 1996-97 season and 1999-2000 season. Due to all of this they qualified for several European competitions. Roda's most memorable European game was played on 28 February 2002. After a 0–1 defeat to AC Milan in Kerkrade, Roda caused panic at the San Siro by winning the return leg by the same score. Roda even took the lead in the penalty shoot-out, but ended up losing the series. One penalty away from eliminating AC Milan.

Since then they only had qualified twice for the Intertoto Cup in the 2003-04 and 2004-05 season. In later years they did manage to qualify for the play-offs but never had one the play-offs.

Roda's position in Dutch football is best illustrated by their history in the KNVB Cup. Roda were good enough to make it to six finals, but the first three times and the last time the opponent in the final was one of the 'Big Three' – and Roda went home with the silver medal: PSV won in 1976 and 1988, Feyenoord in 1992 and 2008. In two of the club's cup finals, however, a 'non-Big Three' side was the opponent. Both times the cup went to Kerkrade: Heerenveen were beaten in 1997, NEC in 2000.

Since 1992 Roda have been in discussions with neighbours Fortuna Sittard, as well as MVV and VVV-Venlo, with a view to merging to form a new club, named F.C. Limburg.[1] A statement of intent was published by Roda and Fortuna in November 2008 and in early 2009 financial backing was found for the scheme.[1] All attempts, however, were stranded.

In 2010, the club added "Kerkrade" to its name, so the full new name of the sports club is now Roda JC Kerkrade. This was one of the condition of the municipality Kerkrade, in exchange for financial help.

Stadium

Since the establishment of the club, Roda JC Kerkrade played in Sportpark Kaalheide with a capacity of 21,500 people. The current stadium is called Parkstad Limburg Stadion and has a capacity of 19 000 seats. It was opened on August 15, 2000 with a match against Real Zaragoza which draw: 2-2.
