NETHERLANDS: CVV (1950-2000) / CVV-Mercurius (2000-2014)

Stadion van Charlois - Groene Kruisweg, Rotterdam Rotterdam-Zuid (formerly CVV / CVV-Mercurius)

Netherlands, province: South Holland

26 II 2011 / CVV-Mercurius - RKSV WCR 12-0 / District West II, Saturday League 4D (= NL level 8)
15 III 2014 / CVV-Mercurius - PSV Poortugaal (za) 0-2 / District West II, Saturday League 4E (= NL level 8)

Note 1: Founded in 1908 as Excelsior but renamed Charloisse Voetbalvereniging two years later, CVV were one of the non-league powerhouses in Rotterdam for decades, with one nationwide Sunday League title to their credit in 1964. The club moved to the so-called Stadion van Charlois at Groene Kruisweg in 1950. In 2001, CVV concluded a merger with RSM (Rotterdamse Sportvereniging Mercurius, founded in 1933), forming CVV-Mercurius; all activities moved to CVV's ground. In 2014, CVV-Mercurius had to abandon their ground, which had to make way for housing. That summer, the club merged with SV DEHMusschen to become SV Charlois; all activities moved to SV DEHMusschen's ground at Oldegaarde.
