VV DOVO

VV DOVO, short for Voetbalvereniging Door Ons Vrienden Opgericht, is a football club from Veenendaal, Netherlands.

History
The club was founded in 1933 as DVO and later changed its name to DOVO to set itself apart from a nearby club with an identical name. DOVO won section championships in lower leagues in 1936, 1937,1938, 1948, 1949, 1958, 1960, and 1967.

In 1970 DOVO promoted to the Eerste Klasse, where it initially won sections in 1975, 1977, 1979, 1989, 1991, and 1994. In 1974, it drew national attention by beating NSVV from Numansdorp, 11–0, while pointing out that DOVO players had made mistakes. In 1979 it also became the Saturday Champion of the Netherlands. From 1996 to 20017 it played in the Hoofdklasse, except for two seasons back in the Eerste when it took Eerste Klasse championships (2007 and 2011). In 1999 and 2004 DOVO won section championships in the Hoofdklasse. Since 2017, DOVO plays in the Derde Divisie.

In 2023, DOVO qualified for the Tweede Divisie promotion playoffs. However, they lost 5–3 on aggregate to VVSB in the first round.
