NAC Breda is a professional football club that was created on 19 September 1912. The full name of the club is Nooit opgeven altijd doorgaan, Aangenaam door vermaak en nuttig door ontspanning, Combinatie Breda and that is the longest football team’s title in the world. The name of the city Breda was officially added in 2003, when the club was bought by the city council thus receiving the financial support it needed.
The club started playing in the Second Southern division on 12 October 1912. After winning that tournament in 1919, the team participated in the Dutch’ Champions Competition. Two years later NAC Breda clinched the title of the Dutch championship.
The next rise of the team happened only in the 1960s-1970s, as Breda was at a strong mid-position in the table and even clinched KNVB Cup in 1973. But the team’s fortunes changed in the 1980s when they faced financial problems and were a step away from bankruptcy, selling all the club’s belongings in order to survive.
These days the team plays in the top flight, yet the management of Breda has set new objectives for the club, including establishment of the best youth academy in the Netherlands, compelling around 20,000 fans per match and raising the team’s budget to 17 million euro.
The fans of the team are one of the fierciest and most ardent in Netherlands. The club has established a fan’s council, the first created organization of that kind in Netherlands.
