HVV Den Haag

History

HVV was the most successful Dutch football club prior to World War I, winning ten Dutch championships between 1890 and 1914. Two of its players won bronze medals with the Dutch side in the 1912 Olympic football tournament. Subsequently, it was superseded as the top club in the Hague by HBS and then ADO. Its last season in top-flight football was 1932. The introduction of professionalism by the KNVB in 1954 did not affect lower division clubs such as HVV.
