Membership continued to rise steadily. To meet the demands of the time, construction of a new clubhouse began in 1966. The entire project was completed by club volunteers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another sporting success followed in 1970 with promotion to the third division. The club celebrated its 25th anniversary in 1973 with, among other events, a match against FC Twente, which had signed AZSV goalkeeper Eddy Pasveer. In 1977 AZSV started an indoor football section and organised a tournament for D-level youth players for the first time. Membership continued to grow, and the club also introduced an F-level section for children from the age of six.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-sporting-highlights\">Sporting highlights<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sponsorship arrived at AZSV in the early 1980s, giving the club a useful annual source of income. August 1981 marked another milestone when the first women\u2019s team was formed and entered into competition. The street-football tournament was launched in 1983. Each year, hundreds of male and female players compete for the Aalten street-football championship over a fortnight in May and June, while above all enjoying the convivial atmosphere surrounding the tournament.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In 1987 the men\u2019s first team reached another sporting high point by winning the championship and promotion to the second division. The club\u2019s 40th anniversary in 1988 was celebrated in style with a festive week. A supporters\u2019 association was founded in 1989 to provide moral and financial support. In 1992 the club made history when the men\u2019s first team was promoted to the highest level of Saturday football at the time, the first division, although its stay there lasted only one year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Villekamp Foundation was also established around this period. A covered stand with 350 seats was built, with a gym, reception rooms, changing rooms and physiotherapy facilities beneath it. The club celebrated its 50th anniversary in 1998 with, among other things, the publication of a commemorative book. AZSV welcomed its 1,000th member in 2001. That same year the men\u2019s first team was relegated from the first division, but it returned immediately the following season. By then this was the second-highest level of Saturday football because a new top division had been introduced. Meanwhile, AZSV\u2019s women\u2019s teams steadily moved up through the leagues, and increasing numbers of girls discovered football at the club.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-football-school\">Football school<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In 2007 the AZSV football school was founded, enabling children from the age of four to take part in a World Cup-style competition. The club\u2019s 60th anniversary in 2008 saw the publication of the book <em>A.Z.S.V-1 aller tijden<\/em>. Unfortunately, the men\u2019s first team was relegated to the second division in the anniversary year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In 2011 AZSV and the Municipality of Aalten agreed that responsibility for maintaining the sports ground would pass to the club. AZSV also gained the use of two and a half artificial pitches, greatly improving its training facilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-promotion-and-growth\">Promotion and growth<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The men\u2019s first team was promoted to the first division in 2011. Two seasons later it was promoted again, this time to the Hoofdklasse, where it remained. AZSV\u2019s youth teams gradually began playing at higher levels as well, with several competing in the Hoofdklasse and national divisions. Membership rose to 1,300 by 2015, including 175 women and girls. In 2017 the women\u2019s first team was promoted to the national first division, while the under-19 girls\u2019 team became Hoofdklasse champions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Between 2015 and 2017 a major project resulted in the renovation and expansion of the changing facilities. The clubhouse canteen was also extensively refurbished, giving AZSV a fresh and modern space in which to welcome members and visitors. This record of continuous development reflects the ambition the club wishes to maintain: AZSV aims to remain competitive on the pitch while, above all, continuing to be a hospitable club where everyone enjoys coming.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:var(--wp--preset--spacing--30)\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Football club Aalten Zaterdag Sportvereniging (AZSV) was founded on 5 June 1948.
