NEC Nijmegen

The NEC is one of the best football clubs in Dutch history. They have won four major cups but unfortunately never received a silver medal for their achievements! The name Nijmegen means 'nitrogen' or 'nitrogen' - a nod to the club's blue and white colours, which pair beautifully with earth tones derived from natural materials such as wood stain or contaminated groundwater sources. The club was founded on September 1, 1872 on the initiative of George van der Putten, who wanted more diversity among the leaseholders of his sports facility; he offered land in Kralingen, a small village near Utrecht (then part of the canal ring route), in exchange for local residents building a sports facility there.
