About

Venlose Voetbal Vereniging Venlo is a Dutch professional football club from Venlo, Limburg, competing in the Eerste Divisie. Founded on 7 February 1903, the club has a long regional presence based in Venlo, currently playing in the Eerste Divisie and hosting home matches at the distinctive De Koel. Walkouts lists signed shirts that reflect the club’s history, including its lone major domestic honour, the 1 KNVB Cup, and the fact that the side has No European appearances.

VVV-Venlo is among the oldest active Dutch clubs and the team has alternated between the top tier and the second division over recent decades. The side spent a notable period in the Eredivisie between 2017 and 2021 and the squad has featured recognisable names such as Keisuke Honda, Bryan Linssen and Ahmed Musa, all of whom drive collector interest in signed shirts and framed pieces.

De Koel’s sunken bowl and steep terraces create a strong matchday identity that collectors value as provenance, and the club’s community work is reflected in awards and memorials like the Jan Klaassens Award and the Herman & Wiel Teeuwen Memorial. Local pride around the Limburgse Derby and the club’s regional catchment gives many shirts a clear geographical provenance that helps verify match and event origins.

On the shirt front VVV-Venlo are traditionally associated with yellow shirts and black shorts and the club nickname, 'The Good Old', features on vintage prints and commemorative fanshop items. Post-1970 anniversary releases have been part of the collectors’ market and Centenary observances are a common theme among Dutch clubs, tying apparel to key club milestones and retrospectives.

Collectors chase shirts from seasons and matches that mark promotion, cup success or top flight runs; examples tied to VVV-Venlo include the club’s 1959 KNVB Cup victory and recent Eredivisie campaigns around 2017-18. These shirts are sought because they represent turning points in the club’s timeline and often coincide with limited edition runs, commemorative badges or player signatures taken at official events.

Fans and collectors explicitly seek signed fanshop shirts as well as player-issue variants, with attention to early production runs and region-specific retail releases that predate wider distribution. Anniversary merchandise such as a Centenary 2003 style release and distinctive alternate designs like a black with yellow trim away colourway can be particularly prized, especially when paired with provenance including match photography or ticketed event appearances.

Authenticated retail items, including those supplied with COA, remain a strong segment of the market for supporters of VVV-Venlo, connecting tangible memorabilia to club moments from the 1959 KNVB Cup and the return to top-flight fixtures in the 2017-18 Eredivisie season. Walkouts showcases signed shirts and related pieces with clear season and match context, and collectors will find framed shirts and player-signed fanshop variants tied to specific fixtures and cup runs.

Honours

VVV-Venlo’s honours are anchored by a celebrated national cup triumph, lifting the KNVB Cup in 1959. That achievement set a benchmark for the club’s competitive spirit, followed by another strong run to the final in 1962. While major silverware has been rare, Venlo’s story is one of resilience and advancement, with multiple promotions that have returned the club to the Eredivisie across different eras, most recently yielding a sustained stay in the top flight before a return to the second tier. The cup pedigree and recurring top-tier spells underline a tradition of punching above weight, developing talent, and re-emerging after setbacks. Though the club has not featured in European competition, its domestic cup highlight and enduring league presence showcase a side that consistently competes with ambition. The 1959 victory remains a defining moment for supporters, and the 1962 final appearance adds depth to a history built on perseverance, community backing, and a keen eye for nurturing players who have gone on to make their mark in Dutch football.
