NAC Breda History
|
NAC Breda is a Dutch football club
from Breda.
NAC (NOAD ADVENDO Combinatie) was founded in 1912 when the two
clubs NOAD and ADVENDO merged. NOAD stands for Nooit Opgeven
Altijd Doorgaan (English: Never give up, always go on). ADVENDO
stands for Aangenaam Door Vermaak En Nuttig Door Ontspanning (English:
Pleasant for its entertainment and useful for its relaxation).
In 1921, NAC was crowned Dutch champions. In 1973, they won the
Dutch Cup.
In 1996, NAC left the old stadium 'Aan de Beatrixstraat' in city
centre for a brand new 16,000 all-seater just outside the city
centre. Its home stadium is now the MyCom-Stadion which was
previously called Fujifilm Stadion and now has a estimated
capacity of 17 064 spectators.
Early in 2003, NAC changed their name to NAC Breda. Due to bad
management, NAC had financial problems. The city of Breda
offered to buy NAC's Rat Verlegh stadium to give the club extra
cash (NAC rents the stadium from the city of Breda now). As a
symbol of goodwill and gratitude, NAC added the 'Breda' to their
name.
In 2003, NAC Breda qualified for the UEFA Cup (despite their
financial problems). In the first round, NAC Breda had to play
against the big English club Newcastle United. It was one of the
club's biggest events in the last decade.
In 2004, NAC defeated both PSV Eindhoven and Ajax Amsterdam in
the Dutch Cup (both in their own stadiums). However, in the
semifinals NAC was eliminated in Enschede by FC Twente. Reaching
the semi's and eliminating the two top teams was considered a
good result. |
