Their home, the Van Donge & De Roo Stadion, with its intimate capacity of 4500, perfectly encapsulates the club’s close connection to its local fanbase. It is a venue where the roar of the crowd feels immediate, fostering an atmosphere that is uniquely Excelsior.

While their history may not be adorned with major silverware, Excelsior’s longevity and commitment to their principles speak volumes. They continue to be a resilient fixture in the Netherlands, a club that embodies a particular spirit of Rotterdam football and maintains a passionate following in its corner of the city.
