IJsselmeervogels

IJsselmeervogels () is a Dutch football club from Spakenburg, in the province of Utrecht. Founded on 6 June 1932, the club plays its home matches at Sportpark De Westmaat. Nicknamed De Rooien ("the Reds"), IJsselmeervogels is one of the most decorated amateur clubs in the Netherlands, having won the overall Dutch amateur championship seven times (a national record shared with VV Katwijk). The club competes in the Tweede Divisie, the third tier of Dutch football and the top level for amateur sides. IJsselmeervogels' long-standing local rivalry with SV Spakenburg—their neighbours and co-tenants at De Westmaat—is contested in the Derby van Spakenburg.

== History == === Early years === The club was formed in 1932. In its early days, it had a number of different names, including VVIJV, V.V. IJsselmeer and n.a.s. (Na Arbeid Sport, Sport after Labour) and soon the club colors of red and white were adopted. The kit consists of a white shirt with deep red centre (reminiscent of Ajax) and red shorts. The socks were initially red with a white stripe, but in recent years have gradually changed to become all-white.
