EVV

Early years

The history of the sports club started in 1908, when the club EVV Sparta was founded. In 1925, this club went bankrupt. A year after EVV Sparta went bankrupt, EVV Echt was founded. The club was founded in the former Oranjehotel on the Jodenstraat. The first game was played on 24 October 1926, as EVV lost 2–4 to Helden. In 1931, EVV won a championship for the first time. The club also moved to the Nieuwe Markt. Success was again achieved in 1940. The "Baron de Vexela Coupe" was won by EVV. During the war years, hardly any football was played, and EVV played in the so-called "Emergency Competition".

In the 2003–04 season, EVV were crowned champion in the Eerste Klasse D and for the first time in club history reached promotion to the highest league of amateur football; de Sunday Hoofdklasse B. From the 2004–05 season, EVV began playing continuously in that division. In the 2005–06 season, EVV won the final in the South II district over JVC Cuijk to win the district cup 4–0. EVV also reached the national final of amateur football in the same season but lost 1–3 to ASWH. The objective in the 2009–10 season was promotion to the newly formed Topklasse. This was reached in the final day of the competition, by winning the away game against RKSV Schijndel with 0–3. This resulted in EVV finishing in 3rd place.
