History

RKAV was founded in 1920 Volendam as Victoria. It soon changed its name to RKSV Volendam (with an S for Sports Club). Initially, the club participated in the Catholic football league. It joined the KNVB in 1940. In July 1977 the club split into the professional FC Volendam and the Hoofdklasse amateur-team RKAV Volendam.

RKAV relegated from the Hoofdklasse after the 2014–2015 season. Preparing for the 2017-18 Eerste Klasse season, RKAV beat Hoofdklasse-side Amsterdamsche FC, 2-1.[1]

gollark: Do you fear the fusion reactor I haven't done anything with?
gollark: Sometimes the network is happily able to transfer several MB/s (which is not great but good enough for gaming and such) but sometimes I just get horrible packet loss for no reason.
gollark: Can't.
