History

The club was founded on 15 August 1931 as Stormvogels and soon renamed Windvogels. In 1947 it merged with a local gymnastics team to become Sportverening Spakenburg. It joined the Eerste Klasse in the 1970–71 season under coach Joop van Basten, father of legendary Dutch striker Marco van Basten, and clinched their first league title in 1974. It became champions again in 1985, also winning the overall Dutch amateur league title, and in 1987, 2000 and 2008.

SV Spakenburg celebrates the 1985 championship.

It joined the Topklasse for its inaugural season in 2010. In its first season, Spakenburg was one of only three clubs (the other ones being Rijnsburgse Boys and FC Oss) to declare themselves eligible for promotion to Eerste Divisie; despite that, Spakenburg failed to qualify to the competition finals as they ended the regular season in second place behind city rivals IJsselmeervogels.

In the 2022–23 season, Spakenburg had an impressive run in the KNVB Cup competition. On 28 February, Spakenburg defeated FC Utrecht 1–4 away in the quarter-finals and became the third amateur team ever to qualify for the semi-finals.

Earlier on 12 Januari Spakenburg defeated FC Groningen 2-3 in the Euroborg Stadium.

The squad and fans celebrate the 1-4 victory over FC Utrecht.

In the semi-finals of the KNVB Cup PSV visited the Westmaat. PSV merely won with 1-2. Dwayne Green scored for SV Spakenburg and became the first ever amateur player who scored a goal in the semi-finals of the KNVB Cup.
