De Graafschap, affectionately known as “De Superboeren” or The Super Farmers, embodies the spirit of the Achterhoek region in the eastern Netherlands. Founded in 1954, the club quickly became a focal point for the community in Doetinchem, establishing a strong local identity that remains at its core.

Their home ground, Stadion De Vijverberg, with its capacity of 12,600, speaks to a loyal fanbase that turns out to support their team through thick and thin. While major honours haven’t graced their trophy cabinet, De Graafschap has built a reputation as a resilient side, often battling between the top two divisions of Dutch football.

This consistent presence, even without championship glory, highlights a club deeply rooted in its local area. De Graafschap continues to represent the pride of Doetinchem, a testament to enduring community support and the simple love of the game that defines so many clubs across the Netherlands.
