History[edit]

20th century[edit]

VV Jubbega was founded on 14 April 1945 through the merger of the Rode Duivels (Red Devils) and Samenspel Doet Overwinnen (Teamworks Wins).

In 1948, it joined the Vierde Klasse of the KNVB, immediately taking a section championship. Since, it has been hovering between the Vierde and Eerste Klasse, peaking in 1963 as third in the Eerste. An exception was 1998–99 when Jubbenga played in the Vijfde Klasse, immediately bouncing back through a section championship and automatic promotion.

21st century[edit]

From 2017 through 2019, former professional player Oebele Schokker played on the Saturday first squad, doubling as assistant coach. In 2019, Jubbega was joined by Xander Houtkoop, another former prof. In 2020, Jubbega promoted to the Eerste Klasse.[1] At the start of 2022, it was joined by the former prof Henrico Drost.[2]
