VVV-Venlo

VVV originated from the association football club De Gouden Leeuw, which was founded by a group of friends in Venlo at the end of the nineteenth century.After the end of World War II, the number of Eerste Klasse teams was expanded, which also included VVV.VVV returned to the Eredivisie, the highest league in the Netherlands, by defeating RKC Waalwijk (3–0) in the promotion/relegation play-offs in the 2006–07 season.They also signed toddler Baerke van der Meij on a symbolic ten-year contract, after a video featuring him scoring a hat trick into a toy box became popular.At the end of the season, key players Ruben Schaken and Adil Auassar both signed with Feyenoord on a free transfer.They avoided relegation, but it was a harsh season in which Jan van Dijk was fired and former international Patrick Paauwe terminated his contract after losing the competition from his competitors.[5] Since Keisuke Honda transferred from Nagoya Grampus in 2008, a slew of Japanese players have played at VVV-Venlo, including Maya Yoshida, Robert Cullen and Yuki Otsu.Note: Flags indicate national team as defined under FIFA eligibility rules; some limited exceptions apply.28 — Beau Vilters, defender (2014–15) — posthumous honour The following players were called up to represent their national teams in international football and received caps during their tenure with VVV-Venlo:
