FC Den Bosch is a Dutch professional football club from the city of 's-Hertogenbosch, competing in the Eerste Divisie, the second tier of football in the Netherlands. Their home is the iconic Stadion De Vliert. The club was founded in 1965 and plays in blue and white stripes, with current head coach Jan de Jonge leading the squad. The team's history is rooted in the merger of two local clubs, BVV and Wilhelmina, forming a new entity to represent the city. The name "Den Bosch" is the common abbreviation for the city itself. While they have spent much of their history in the Eerste Divisie, they have had memorable spells in the Eredivisie, with their most notable period in the late 1990s and early 2000s featuring exciting cup runs. The modern era sees Den Bosch as a perennial challenger for promotion, often relying on a mix of experienced professionals and talented youth academy products to push for a return to the top flight. The club enjoys a loyal and vocal fan base, with the "Blue White Army" creating a fantastic matchday experience. Den Bosch is a historic club with a clear ambition to climb back to the highest level of Dutch football.
