History

While founded in 1945, RKZVC plays in major KNVB leagues only since 1971. Until 1983 it played in Vierde Klasse C, where it usually ended in a top spot. In 1983 it won a championship and promoted to Derde Klasse C. This first stint in the Derde lasted 6 years, after which generally weaker years in Vierde Klasse C followed.

In 2008 RKZVC hit a bottom when it relegated to the Vijfde Klasse. From here luck changed. It immediately won a Vijfde Klasse championship (2008–2009). Followed by gradually improving performance in the Vierde Klasse (2009–11). In 2011 RKZVC finally made it back to the Derde Klasse but relegated a year later.

Immediately, in 2013 RKZVC won the Vierde Klasse championship that brought it to the Derde. In 2016 it won a Derde Klasse championship, it 2017 that of a Tweede Klasse, and 2018 that of an Eerste Klasse. [1] [2] RKZVC's exceptional ascent, winning coach Laurens Knippenborg the Rinus Michels Award, [3] [4] was stopped for now in the Hoofdklasse where RKZVC "just" held on in 2019. While leading the league after several games, [5] [6] it finished in the "honorable" 4th place and did not make it into the promotion playoff (unlike the numbers 3 and 5, who took period championships).
