SV Spakenburg is a Dutch football club based in Bunschoten. It was founded in 1931 and currently competes in the Tweede Divisie. It shares a football rivalry with IJsselmeervogels that is also from Bunschoten-Spakenburg.
History
The club was founded on 15 August 1931 as Stormvogels and soon renamed Windvogels. In 1947 it merged with a local gymnastics team to become Sportverening Spakenburg. It joined the Eerste Klasse in the 1970–71 season under coach Joop van Basten, father of legendary Dutch striker Marco van Basten, and clinched their first league title in 1974. It became champions again in 1985, also winning the overall Dutch amateur league title, and in 1987, 2000 and 2008.[1]
Topklasse (2010 - 2016)
It joined the Topklasse for its inaugural season in 2010. In the 2011/2012 season and the 2013/2014 season SV Spakenburg became champions of the Topklasse. In 2013/2014 Spakenburg also takes home the title of best amateur squad of the Netherlands after beating AFC Amsterdam in the championship for Algeheel Amateurkampioen.
Historical KNVB-cup Season 22/23
In the 2022–23 season, Spakenburg had an impressive run in the KNVB Cup competition. On 28 February, Spakenburg defeated FC Utrecht 1–4 away in the quarter-finals and became the third amateur team ever to qualify for the semi-finals.[2]
Earlier on 12 Januari Spakenburg defeated FC Groningen 2–3 in the Euroborg Stadium.[3]
In the semi-finals of the KNVB Cup PSV visited the Westmaat. PSV merely won with 1–2. Dwayne Green scored for SV Spakenburg and became the first ever amateur player who scored a goal in the semi-finals of the KNVB Cup.[4]
Champions Tweede Divisie 23/24
Everyone agrees: in 2023/2024 friend and foe has seen the best SV Spakenburg ever. After the Blues captured the hearts of football fans in the season with an amazing KNVB cup adventure (only eliminated in the semi-finals by PSV), they entertained the public a season later with spectacular football. Football that is best characterized by a combination of courage, passion, speed, resilient and delicate combination football. A style of play with which the Blues dominate the competition in the Second Division. Even before the winter break, the question is no longer whether SV Spakenburg will become champions, but when? On the 11th of may it finally happens when GVVV is heroically beaten in Veenendaal (a 2-3 win, after a 2-0 lead from GVVV).[5]
The championship in the Second Division is won through the leadership of Chris de Graaf en Jorg Hartog, both born and raised in Spakenburg and former players of SV Spakenburg from a very early age. All of which makes the championship even more special.
SV Spakenburg becomes champion with 82 points, the most points ever in the Second Division. This is partly achieved thanks to a sensational series of 19 unbeaten competition matches (16 wins and 3 draws). It illustrates the dominance of Chris de Graaf's squad. Only De Treffers can compete for a while, but ultimately even they are no match for Spakenburg. Another record is set on April 6, 2024. The 8-0 win over Noordwijk is the biggest league victory ever for SV Spakenburg and also the biggest result ever in the Second Division. Ahmed El Azzouti scores no less than 5 goals against Noordwijk. It is therefore not surprising that he becomes the top scorer in the Second Division this season with 25 goals. And last but not least, Chris de Graaf is named best amateur coach of the year.

Derby IJsselmeervogels – Spakenburg
IJsselmeervogels and SV Spakenburg have been playing at the same level since they were founded. Over the years there an atmosphere had emerged around the derby matches which is unique in amateur football. The club of "the people and the fishermen" (IJsselmeervogels, also known as "The Reds") against the "farmers and clerks" (SV spakenburg, "the Blues"). Their rivalry reached boiling point in 1987, when during the second but last match a bomb made by a supporter of IJsselmeervogels exploded and a linesman was wounded. In the years that followed, until the mid-1990s, the clubs were separated. In 1999, however, the relationship between the two clubs cooled considerably when Spakenburg offered a much money to sign two star players from the "red championship team" (Gérard van der Nooij and Pascal de Bruijn) and have them play for "the Blues". The affair becomes so big that local government banned the derby for a few year. Since 2002 the peace has returned and IJsselmeervogels and Spakenburg are playing against each other again.[6]
It is estimated that the edition of 16 April 2011 was visited by almost 9,000 people. In the stands there are many crowd chants and there is always a great atmosphere. The media spend much time on the derby, which is covered in sports magazines like Voetbal International and Dutch National broadcaster NOS.
