Biography
Formation
ADO Den Haag, officially known as Alles Door Oefening, was founded on February 1, 1905, in a café in The Hague. The club began its journey in the local Haagsche Voetbal Bond but quickly ascended to the national level by 1912, achieving its first championship in the third tier just two years later. The club's early years were marked by financial struggles, but it found stability after moving to the Zuiderpark stadium in 1925.
Growth and Challenges
By 1926, ADO Den Haag had reached the highest national level, the Eerste Klasse. The team faced challenges in the following years, often fighting against relegation. However, by the end of the 1930s, ADO began to rise in prominence, narrowly missing the league title in 1939 and again in 1940. The club finally secured its first class title in 1941, marking a significant achievement in its history. Despite the turmoil of World War II, ADO continued to compete, although it faced scrutiny for its perceived collaboration with the German occupiers.
Honours and Legacy
Throughout its history, ADO Den Haag has claimed several notable titles, including the Eredivisie championships in 1941-42 and 1942-43, and multiple Eerste Divisie titles, with the most recent being in the 2025-26 season. The club has also enjoyed success in the KNVB Cup, winning it twice in the late 1960s and mid-1970s. Despite not achieving the same level of success as other Dutch giants like Ajax and Feyenoord, ADO Den Haag maintains a fierce rivalry with these clubs, reflecting its enduring presence in Dutch football.

Career & Clubs
1905–1971: ADO
On 1 February 1905, the club Alles Door Oefening (ADO) was founded in café 'Het Hof van Berlijn' (now: De Paap) in The Hague. In the first years of its existence, the club endured some difficult times as many members refused to pay their fees. ADO started out in the local Haagsche Voetbal Bond, but promoted to the national Nederlandsche Voetbal Bond in 1912. That year they promoted to the third level (3e klasse NVB) and two years later they even earned the championship on that level. After moving to the Zuiderpark stadium in 1925, ADO continued to grow to a club of some significance. In 1926, the club earned promotion to the highest national level, the Eerste Klasse. In the following years the red-green-white team struggled not to be relegated at first, but rose to the top of the league at the end of the 1930s. In 1939 the club just missed the class title after losing to DWS in Amsterdam. In 1940, the title seemed very close again, but another second-place finish was the highest achievable position after the club saw many players being drafted in the army with World War II closing in. This time another club from Amsterdam, Blauw-Wit, grabbed the title. In 1941, ADO finally won their class and moved on to the national champion's competition, losing that to Heracles. During the war, the club was regarded as one collaborating with the German occupiers due to only three people being members of the NSB: outside right Gerrie Vreken, honorary chairman Chris…
