History

The championship team of 1975

VV Spijkenisse became champions of the Saturday amateurs in 1975 and then became overall amateur champion by beating the Sunday champion VV Emmen 2–4 away and 1–0 at home.^[6] In 2014, Spijkenisse won the championship of the Eerste Klasse C, which meant that the club forced promotion to the Hoofdklasse for the first time since the 2002–03 season.^[7] In the 2014–15 season, they won a period title and alongside Quick Boys and RVVH, they competed for play-offs for promotion to the Topklasse, but this was not realised. In the 2016–17 season, Spijkenisse became champion of the Dutch Hoofdklasse and promoted to the Derde Divisie.^[8] A year later, however, they lost in the relegation play-offs to HSV Hoek, which meant that the club suffered relegation to the Hoofdklasse.^[9]
