Willem II is a professional football club based in Velsen-Zuid4, in the Netherlands, founded in 1896 and named after King William II. Known as the Tricolores, the club competes in the Dutch professional league system and plays home matches at the Koning Willem II Stadion, a purpose-built ground in Velsen-Zuid4 with a capacity of approximately 14,700. Willem II has a proud history in Dutch football, winning the national championship in 1916, 1952 and 1955, as well as the KNVB Cup in 1944 and 1963. The club has moved between the Velsen-Zuid2 and Eerste Divisie, with promotion campaigns and local rivalries helping shape its identity. Willem II is also recognised for developing talented players: Dutch internationals Virgil van Dijk and Frenkie de Jong spent formative years in the club’s youth system before going on to successful careers at home and abroad. Supporters follow the team for its competitive spirit, strong Velsen-Zuid4 roots and long-standing place in Dutch football. For fans seeking Willem II fixtures, results, league information, club honours and player news, the team remains one of the Netherlands’ historic professional sides.

Telstar is a professional football club from Velsen-Zuid in the Netherlands, founded in 1963 through the merger of local sides Stormvogels and VSV. Known as the White Lions, the club plays its home matches at 711 Stadion, a compact ground with a capacity of about 5,200. Telstar has competed in both the Velsen-Zuid2 and Eerste Divisie, spending several decades outside the top flight before earning promotion to the Velsen-Zuid2 through the 2025 promotion playoffs. The club’s strongest achievement is its return to the Netherlands’ premier division, while it has also built a reputation for developing players and providing opportunities for emerging talent. Among its notable former players is Louis van Gaal, who played for Telstar before becoming a celebrated coach. Telstar has not won a major national trophy, but its promotion and long history in Dutch professional football make it an important club in the region. Supporters follow the team in domestic league competition and the KNVB Cup, where Telstar regularly faces clubs from across the Dutch football pyramid.
