History
[edit]VV Hoogeveen was founded on 29 April 1930 and has about 650 members. It plays home matches at Bentickspark. It host football for seniors, junior teams, futsal and women. After the founding of the Hoofdklasse in 1973 VV Hoogeveen soon joined. In 1975 the club promoted to what was then the highest amateur league. The biggest success of the club came in 1978, when the team became champion of the ‘Hoofdklasse B’ and ‘Dutch amateur champion’ of the Sunday ‘Hoofdklasse’. In subsequent years VV Hoogeveen managed to play many additional seasons in the ‘Hoofdklasse’.
In the 2021–22 season, Hoogeveen qualified for the promotion playoffs, but lost 5–2 on aggregate to VV Hoogland in the first round.
In the 2022–23 season, Hoogeveen won the Vierde Divisie Sunday A, earning promotion to the Derde Divisie.
In their first year in the Derde Divisie, Hoogeveen finished 16th in the Derde Divisie A, and had to play in the relegation playoffs. Despite a 3–1 away win vs. Rohda Raalte in the first leg of the first round, Hoogeveen collapsed in the second leg, losing 3–0 and 4–3 on aggregate. The result meant that Hoogeveen were relegated back to the Vierde Divisie after just one year at the fourth tier.[1][2]
