History

The club was founded on February 2, 1913. Since 1919, the club introduced the name " Apeldoornse Geheel Voetbal Vereniging Onthouders " ( AGOVV ) ( German Apeldoorn teetotaler football club ), because the founders were opponents of the then usual drinks abuse at the end of football games. However, the club culture changed in the following years by the club in 1921 was to change his name, ' avenues Gezamenlijk Oefenen Voert Verder ' ( in German: Only practice brings together more ). 1938 AGOVV penetrated before to the final of the Dutch Cup, but it lost to the VSV, a predecessor organization of Velsener clubs Telstar, with 1:4.

In 1971 was AGOVV by the KNVB for the major redevelopment of professional football clubs to the amateurs reset. Exemplary mass protests in the city Apeldoorn not alter the fact. The club played in various amateur leagues of the KNVB. In the 2001 /02 season was AGOVV champion in the third-class Hoofdklasse and in the same year total amateur champion.

2003/ 04, the club returned to the professionals. Since the 2003/ 04 season, the club uses the name of the city in his official name: AGOVV Apeldoorn. AGOVV Apeldoorn plays today in the Eerste Divisie, the second division. Since 2003, in addition to the professional player team also an amateur team. The team of amateurs who lost their best players to the pros, increased in 2004 by the Hoofdklasse from the Eerste class.

When you return to the Eerste Divisie the former national player Jurrie Koolhof was hired as head coach of the first team. The old head coach of the amateur team's Stanley Menzo ( ex- goalkeeper of Ajax Amsterdam, PSV Eindhoven, FC Girondins de Bordeaux and AGOVV Apeldoorn) at that time did not have the required qualifications to become a coach allowed. After two disappointing seasons under Koolhof ( twice 10th place in the table ), was hired at the beginning of the 2005/ 06 Stanley Menzo, who possessed the necessary qualifications now as the new head coach.

AGOVV had after the new start as a professional club repeated major problems in both sports as well as in financial terms. In football year 2011/12 the club only failed his last league was because the FC Emmen were deducted six points due to non -fulfillment of financial obligations of the KNVB. In December 2012, the IRS launched with an open call for about 400,000 euros a insolvency proceedings against AGOVV. This could not be avoided, in spite of a judicially granted deferment for four weeks. On 8 January 2013, the club was declared bankrupt. After the 10 - day appeal period had remained unused, AGOVV was taken out of the championship on 17 January 2013. All previously played matches of the season were not considered to be played and factored out of the championship table. The amateurs of AGOVV are not affected by the insolvency of the professionals.
