MVV Maastricht Football Team

Abouts Mvv Maastricht:

Maatschappelijke Voetbal Vereniging Maastricht, commonly known as MVV Maastricht, or simply as MVV, is a Dutch professional football club from the city of Maastricht. Founded on 2 April 1902, MVV Maastricht currently competes in the Eerste Divisie, the second tier of Dutch football.

Because their crest is based on the city's coat of arms, an armed angel holding a red shield with a white star, they are nicknamed de Sterrendragers ("Wearers of Stars") and, in local dialect, pronounced. The club's name was formerly Maastrichtse Voetbal Vereniging until 2011, when it was officially changed to include the city name after "MVV."

MVV was founded in 1902 following a meeting held on Maastricht's Vrijthof square. Initially named Maastrichtsche Voetbal Club (MVC), the club changed its name several times before adopting the title Maastrichtse Voetbal Vereniging (MVV) in 1908.

From its formation until the mid-1970s, MVV competed in the top tiers of Dutch football. The club enjoyed several strong campaigns in the interwar period, finishing as national runners-up in 1927 and 1932, and recording further high finishes in 1936, 1939 and 1946.[1] In 1946 the team won its regional league and progressed to the national championship play-offs, but finished bottom of the group.
