Description

sc Heerenveen (Frisian: sc It Hearrenfean) is a Dutch football club currently playing in the Eredivisie, the Dutch Premier Division.

The club, founded on July 20, 1920, is located in the town of Heerenveen. A small club by European standards, sc Heerenveen managed to qualify for the UEFA Champions League group stage in the 2000-01 season, having finished in 2nd position in the Eredivisie in the 1999-00 season.

Having played in European cup competitions for many seasons, the club can be seen as one the few teams in the Eredivisie who can challenge the top triumvirate of Ajax, Feyenoord and PSV. The average attendance is just over 25000 spectators. Ever since the stadium was opened (in 1994) the stadium has been in a constant state of redevelopment - in only two seasons (up to 2007) hass the shape of the stadium remained the same.

The crest on the club emblem is the symbol of the flag of Friesland, the province where the club is located, and every home game at the Abe Lenstra stadium is preceded with the Frisian anthem.

The club was led from 1983 until September 2006 by president Riemer van der Velde, the longest tenure of any president with a professional club in the Netherlands.
