RBC Roosendaal
Netherlands · Founded: 1912
RBC Roosendaal is a Dutch football club from the city of Roosendaal in the province of North Brabant. The club was founded in 1912 under the name Excelsior and later went through several name changes and mergers before becoming Roosendaal Boys Combinatie (RBC). Over time, it developed into one of the more notable football clubs in the region, with a strong local identity and long-standing presence in Dutch football.
The club became professional in 1955 and spent many years moving between divisions in the Dutch football system. One of its biggest achievements came in the early 2000s, when RBC reached the Eredivisie, the top level of Dutch football, and competed there for several seasons. The team also reached the KNVB Cup final in 1986, which remains one of the highlights in its history. Its home matches were played at the RBC Stadion in Roosendaal.
Despite its sporting moments of success, the club faced serious financial problems later on. In 2011, RBC Roosendaal went bankrupt and lost its professional status, effectively ending its existence as a professional club. It later restarted as an amateur team and began rebuilding from the lower divisions. Today, RBC is remembered as a club with a rich but turbulent history, known for its resilience and contribution to Dutch football culture.
