Vrouwenvoetbal Kennemerland e.o. (VVK) or Telstar Vrouwen is a Dutch women's football club based in Velsen, North Holland that plays in the Dutch top level Eredivisie. It is affiliated with men's team SC Telstar, sharing a logo and home stadium, 711 Stadion.
The club was established in 2011 as Sportclub Telstar Vrouwenvoetbal Noord-Holland and previously played in the Eredivisie and BeNe League. In the 2016–17 season, future Dutch national striker Katja Snoeijs led the league with 21 goals.[1] After that season, the team relocated to Alkmaar and formed VV Alkmaar.[2] [3] [4] In January 2022, media outlets reported Telstar, under the new VVK organization, would rejoin the Eredivisie the following season.[5] [6] Following its comeback, the club finished second-to-last in both of its first two seasons.
In July 2024, Telstar announced a partnership with a newly formed women's football club, Hera United, that could lead to Hera operating the Eredivisie club beginning in the 2025-2026 season.[7] This change requires approval from the KNVB.[8] Hera intends to play its matches at the Olympic Stadium in Amsterdam,[9] including a potential Amsterdam derby with AFC Ajax, though it may continue to play some of its matches in Velsen in 2025 and future years.[10]
