Biography
Formation
FC Emmen, a professional football club based in Emmen, the Netherlands, was founded on August 21, 1925, originally as NEC (Noordbarge Emmen Combinatie). Due to confusion with another club, it quickly changed its name to VV Emmen. The club opted to remain amateur when the Dutch professional league was established in 1954, continuing this status for several decades.
Transition to Professionalism
In 1985, VV Emmen made the significant decision to join the professional ranks, marking a new era for the club. By 1988, the club was divided into an amateur and a professional section, with the latter primarily referred to as BVO Emmen (Betaald Voetbal Organisatie). In 2005, the professional club rebranded to FC Emmen to better reflect its history and to clarify its identity amidst public confusion.
Rise to Eredivisie
FC Emmen achieved a historic milestone on May 20, 2018, by clinching promotion to the Eredivisie for the first time after defeating Sparta Rotterdam 3–1 in the promotion/relegation play-off finals.

The club finished 14th in their first season, securing their place in the Eredivisie for the following season.

In 1988 the club was split into an amateur and a professional section. The latter was mostly called BVO Emmen (Betaald Voetbal Organisatie, professional football organisation). In 2005, the professional club BVO Emmen changed its name into FC Emmen, as it was hoped that the new name would better reflect the club's history, and because many misunderstandings had arisen, among people who had grown to believe that BVO was an abbreviation similar to for instance PSV, RBC or ADO. FC Emmen has reached the Eerste Divisie play-offs eleven times and on 20 May 2018, they managed to clinch promotion to the Eredivisie for the first time in their history after beating Sparta Rotterdam 3–1 in the promotion/relegation play-off finals. They played their first Eredivisie match on 12 August 2018 away against ADO Den Haag, and won 2–1. Glenn Bijl scored the first goal for FC Emmen in the top flight. FC Emmen finished 14th in their first Eredivisie season and secured their spot in the Eredivisie for the 2019–20 season. Despite a very poor start to the 2020–21 season (six points in the first 22 matches), FC Emmen bounced back with an 8-match unbeaten run (five wins,…
