About RFC Rotterdam

RFC Rotterdam, officially known as Rotterdamsche Football Club, was a Dutch football club based in Rotterdam. The club was founded in 1904, originally under the name Olympia, before adopting the RFC name a few years later. Throughout much of its existence, RFC competed in the Dutch amateur football system and became one of the recognized traditional clubs in Rotterdam’s football scene.

During the early decades of Dutch football, RFC achieved several promotions and spent periods playing in higher regional divisions. The club was known for its green-and-white colors and played its matches at grounds near the Essenburgsingel area of Rotterdam. RFC also contributed players to Dutch football at a national level, including Daaf Drok, who represented the Netherlands in the 1930s.

Although RFC never became one of the dominant professional clubs in the Netherlands, it maintained a respected place within Rotterdam football history for many decades. Financial and organizational difficulties eventually led to the club’s decline, and RFC ceased to exist in 1997 after more than 90 years of activity. Even after its disappearance, the club is still remembered by football historians and former supporters as part of Rotterdam’s rich football heritage.
