NAC Breda is a Dutch football club from Breda.
NAC (NOAD ADVENDO Combinatie) was founded on September 19, 1912 when the two clubs NOAD and ADVENDO merged. NOAD stood for Nooit Opgeven Altijd Doorzetten (English: Never give up, always persevere). ADVENDO stood for Aangenaam Door Vermaak En Nuttig Door Ontspanning (English: Pleasant for its entertainment and useful for its relaxation), possibly the longest football club name in the world.[http://football.guardian.co.uk/theknowledge/story/0,,1666197,00.html]
In 1921, NAC were crowned Dutch champions. In 1973, they won the KNVB Cup.
In 1996, NAC left the old stadium 'Aan de Beatrixstraat' in city centre for a brand new 16,400 all-seater just outside the city centre. Their home stadium is now named the Rat Verlegh Stadion which was previously called Fujifilm Stadion. The average attendance in 2004/05 was 12,500.
Early in 2003, NAC changed their name to NAC Breda. Due to bad management, NAC had financial problems. The city of Breda bought NAC's Rat Verlegh stadium to help solve the situation (NAC rents the stadium from the city of Breda now). As a symbol of goodwill and gratitude, NAC added the 'Breda' to their name.
In 2003, NAC Breda qualified for the UEFA Cup. In the first round, NAC Breda played against the English club Newcastle United. Results: 5-0 (in Newcastle) and 0-1 (in Breda).
In 2004, NAC defeated both PSV and Ajax in the KNVB Cup (both in their own stadiums). However, in the semi-finals NAC was eliminated in Enschede by FC Twente.
