Football Club Volendam ( Dutch pronunciation: [ˌvoːlə(n)ˈdɑm]) is a professional football club based in Volendam, Netherlands. They play in the Eredivisie, the top tier in Dutch football, but will play in the Eerste Divisie from the 2026–27 season following relegation. Nicknamed "de Palingboeren", the club was founded as Victoria in 1920, changed its name to RKSV Volendam in 1923 and emerged as an exclusively professional club, FC Volendam, in 1977, following a split from its parent club.
