Sportpark Harga Zuid, Schiedam (formerly SVV & SVVSMC)

Netherlands, province: South Holland

27 III 2011 / SVVSMC - ONA 0-0 / District West II, Sunday League 3B (= NL level 7)
9 VI 2013 / SVV - OHVV 1-3 / District West II, Sunday League 3 - promotion play-off (= NL level 7)

Note 1: SVV (Schiedamse Voetbalvereniging) were a professional league side between 1954 and 1991, playing its football at Sportpark Harga (Zuid) between 1970 and 1990 before moving to Rotterdam's Stadion De Kuip for one season. In 1991, the club disappeared into a merger with Dordrecht '90, with professional league football moving to Dordrecht's Stadion De Krommedijk. SVV's orphaned non-league branch was left behind at Harga. In 1997, SVV merged with SMC (SFC-Martinit Combinatie) to become SVVSMC - and under this name, between 2000 and 2005, the club played four seasons in Zondag Hoofdklasse, the highest non-league level at the time. In 2011, the old name SVV as well as its green-red club colours were reinstated. In late 2017 and early 2018, the grandstand - dating back to 1970 - and terraces were knocked down. SVV played at Sportpark Harga Midden until March 2019, when the move to the current Sportpark Nieuw Harga was made. SVV shares Nieuw Harga with ssv HBSS and C&FC Hermes-DVS, with each club disposing of its own main pitch.
