Cambuur

Sportclub Cambuur, most often styled SC Cambuur (Dutch pronunciation: ) and sometimes Cambuur Leeuwarden, is a Dutch professional football club in Leeuwarden, the capital of Friesland. Founded on 19 June 1964, the team compete in the Eerste Divisie, the second tier of the Dutch football league system, but will play in the Eredivisie from the 2026–27 season following promotion. Since August 2024, they have played their home games at the 15,000‑seat Kooi Stadion, a purpose‑built stadium that replaced Cambuur Stadion. Cambuur play in yellow shirts and blue shorts, colours drawn from the coat of arms of the Cammingha family, whose heraldic lions also feature on the club crest. Organised as a member‑owned association, the club enjoys strong regional backing and contests the "Friese Derby" against neighbouring sc Heerenveen. The club have won the second-tier Eerste Divisie three times (1991–92, 2012–13 and 2020–21) and spent a total of seven seasons in the top-tier Eredivisie. Away from the pitch Cambuur operate an accredited youth academy and the Cambuur Foundation, which runs grassroots sport and social‑inclusion programmes throughout Friesland.
