VV Nieuwerkerk was founded on July 20, 1929. The club currently has 2150 members:

The history of vv Nieuwerkerk in a nutshell It is in the years 1918-1919 that Nieuwerkerk aan den IJssel first gets acquainted with football. A group of Rotterdammers rents a piece of meadowland on the ‘s-Gravenweg, halfway between Kerklaan and Vijf Boeken. A few poles in the ground and that’s it. The young men don’t play matches; the terrain serves as a training ground. Nieuwerkerkers are not involved and not happy about it. Balls end up in places where they definitely shouldn’t be. This ‘football’ lasted for a few years.

Nieuwerkerk aan den IJssel doesn’t remain without football for long. Employees of the glass factory ‘De Struischvogel’ form a team called ‘D.O.S.’ They find a piece of land on the Rijskade that is arranged as a garden. The sticks with beans make way for a makeshift football field. The team stops when the glass factory goes bankrupt at the end of the 1920s.
