About NEC Nijmegen

The Dutch Eredivisie team NEC Nijmegen occupies a unique spot in European football. Founded in 1900, it has an identity inseparable from a pair of colors: red (a scarlet, really) and green (a deep, dark emerald). These hues denote more than a century's worth of pride for a community with roots stretching all the way back to the Roman epoch. In every season since, football home fixtures have provided a collective expression for this community, which is the oldest in the Netherlands.

NEC's modern home is Goffertstadion, a stark yet elegant venue that packs in some 12,000 merry fans and serves up the kind of intimate experience you rarely associate with the cavernous megastadiums of larger clubs dipping deep into the slick MOR aspect of (neo-) art deco design. The club competes in the Eredivisie, the summit of Dutch professional soccer. Despite having won no major trophies and generally dwelling in the lower half of its league, NEC's supporters have become all the more steadfast in their allegiance. They celebrate every promotion, count every season survived in the top league as a victory, and find themselves caught up in heart-stopping moments against well-known big-budget Western European opponents.

NEC Nijmegen History and Achievements

A seeming scarcity of achievement might make some groups falter. But NEC has become a kind of urban cult, whose initiates demand nothing from the club except unforgettable championship moments. The squad of 2025-26 is a mix of seasoned players with a lot of experience in the top Dutch division and local talents arising from the youth academy. Looking beyond stats like minutes played, goals or assists made, or tackles accomplished, the true character of the team emerges from its composition and the close relationship with its fans.

For a period, NEC Nijmegen seemed set to become a feeder club for bigger teams. However, with the implementation of new financer Franz Keller, a formerly competitive poker player turned visionary leader, the club has revitalized its ambitions. The closeness between the crowd and the players on the field sends a clear message: winning is expected, losing is not an option. This support is part of what drives success, with the crowd acting as a vital force behind the Tangerines' performance.
