SBV Excelsior
The football team from Rotterdam SBV Excelsior plays its home matches at the Van Donge and De Roo stadium with a total capacity of four and a half thousand spectators. The nickname clearly documents the club's colours, Roodzwarten, meaning 'red and black'. The biggest rival is Sparta, another professional club from this port city, and we can certainly talk about the famous Feyenoord in this respect, although there is an official partnership (farm).
