About DHC Delft

DHC Delft (Delfia Hollandia Combinatie) is a Dutch football club based in Delft, founded in 1910. It is one of the traditional clubs in the city and has a long history in Dutch football, mainly at amateur level. The club plays at Sportpark Brasserskade and is known for its black-and-green colours and strong local identity. It developed as a result of a merger between earlier Delft football organizations and quickly became an important part of the city’s sporting culture.

Between 1955 and 1968, DHC also played professional football in the Netherlands. During this period, the club competed in the Eerste Divisie and Tweede Divisie, experiencing both moderate success and financial challenges. In 1967, DHC’s professional branch merged with the Rotterdam club Xerxes, forming a short-lived combined team known as Xerxes/DHC. This project lasted only a short time due to financial instability, and it marked the end of DHC’s professional era.

After the collapse of professional football activities, DHC continued as an amateur club in Delft. It rebuilt its identity around local football, youth development, and community involvement. Over time, the club returned to the lower tiers of Dutch amateur football, where it still competes today. Despite no longer being a professional side, DHC remains an important historical club in Dutch football, known for its long tradition and contribution to the sport in Delft.
