Years later they moved to this very spot. They built a clubhouse. This clubhouse even boasted eight changing rooms. A small fortune in those days nearly two hundred thousand guilders expanded the facility.
SC Badhoevedorp emerged from a 1986 merger. SV Lijnden and the football section of SVK/Badhoevedorp joined forces. Their story too is filled with triumphs and challenges. Some notable players like Bilal Basacikoglu Leon Bergsma and Sergio Padt honed their skills here.
