History
VV Spijkenisse became champions of the Saturday amateurs in 1975 and then became overall amateur champion by beating the Sunday champion VV Emmen 2–4 away and 1–0 at home.[6] In 2014, Spijkenisse won the championship of the Eerste Klasse C, which meant that the club forced promotion to the Hoofdklasse for the first time since the 2002–03 season.[7] In the 2014–15 season, they won a period title and alongside Quick Boys and RVVH, they competed for play-offs for promotion to the Topklasse, but this was not realised. In the 2016–17 season, Spijkenisse became champion of the Dutch Hoofdklasse and promoted to the Derde Divisie.[8] A year later, however, they lost in the relegation play-offs to HSV Hoek, which meant that the club suffered relegation to the Hoofdklasse.[9]
