Who Are Excelsior

Founded in nineteen hundred and two in the Kralingen district of Rotterdam, Excelsior are one of the older clubs in the Netherlands and a pioneering name in the Dutch game. Known for their red and black colours, they were among the first clubs in the country to cover their stands and to embrace shirt advertising, marks of an innovative and forward looking identity. Sharing a city with two bigger neighbours, they have carved out a proud and distinctive place of their own.

History and Honours

Excelsior have built their story on resilience and repeated returns to the top flight rather than on major silverware. They have been champions of the second tier on several occasions, most recently in two thousand and six, and reached a KNVB Cup final in their early history. For a club of their size, holding their own in the Eredivisie against the biggest names in the country is an achievement in itself, and it is a role their supporters embrace with real pride.

The Home of Excelsior, the Van Donge and De Roo Stadion

Excelsior play at the Van Donge and De Roo Stadion, also known as Woudestein, one of the most intimate grounds in the Eredivisie with a capacity of around four thousand five hundred. The stands sit right on top of the pitch, so even a modest crowd creates a close and lively atmosphere, and visiting teams often find it a tricky place to play. It is a reminder that a great matchday is about intensity, not just size.

Key Rivalries and Big Matches

As one of three clubs in Rotterdam, Excelsior share the city with Feyenoord and Sparta, and those local meetings always carry extra meaning. The visits of Ajax, PSV and Feyenoord bring the biggest crowds to Woudestein, and the tight confines of the ground give the home side a genuine chance against the giants. Every season the fixture list is full of days worth planning around.

Excelsior and the Dutch Game

Excelsior occupy a special niche in Dutch football as a small club with a big heart, and a visit to Woudestein offers a very different experience from the great arenas of the league. The club competes in the Eredivisie against the strongest sides in the country, and its blend of history, innovation and community spirit makes it a favourite with neutrals and groundhoppers. For visiting fans, a day in Kralingen is one of the most personal experiences in the Dutch game.
