Willem II Tilburg

Sometimes only the abbreviated Willem II is used to refer to them. Their nicknames are Tricolores or Superkruiken. The first nickname suggests that they have a trio of club colours, namely red, white and dark blue. These colours are found on the home jersey, where they are in the form of vertical stripes, as well as in the crest. The away jerseys are predominantly dark blue and combined with black. Alternatively, they also play outdoors in a red and white combination. Their sanctuary is the Koning Willem II Stadium, which has a capacity of 14,700 people. This Dutch football club was founded back in 1896, in the city of Tilburg.

Heracles Almelo

They are called Heraclieden and their club colours are black and white. These can be found both on the club crest and on the home jersey, which has black and white vertical stripes. They are at home in the Erve Asito stadium, which has a capacity of 12,080 seats. The Dutch side was founded in the town of Almeo in 1903, then still under its former original name of Heracles. Interestingly, the club takes its name from a figure in Greek mythology, Heracles, son of the god Zeus. In 1974, the name was changed to SC Heracles '74 and has had its current name since 1998.
