About CVV Rotterdam

Charloisse Voetbalvereniging, commonly known as CVV, was a historic Dutch football club founded in 1908 in the Charlois district of Rotterdam. Originally established under the name Excelsior, the club later changed its name to avoid confusion with another Rotterdam side. CVV quickly became one of the notable amateur football clubs in the Netherlands, developing a reputation for strong performances and a loyal local following.

The club achieved national recognition in 1920 when it won the Dutch KNVB Cup, an impressive accomplishment for a non-professional side at the time. Throughout its history, CVV spent many years competing in the higher amateur divisions and enjoyed several successful periods, including national amateur championships in the 1960s and 1970s. The club was also known for producing talented players and maintaining a strong football culture within Rotterdam.

In 2001, CVV merged with another local club to form CVV-Mercurius as part of efforts to keep football alive in the area. Eventually, further mergers led to the creation of newer football organizations, bringing the original CVV era to an end. Despite no longer existing as an independent club, CVV remains an important part of Rotterdam football history and is remembered for its traditions, achievements, and contribution to Dutch amateur football.
