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.
The club currently operates in the Eredivisie, the highest level of Dutch football. They finished the 2019/20 season by finishing 8th in the Premier League table. They have been champions twice, in their earlier history in the 1926/27 and 1940/41 seasons. Relatively recently, the 2011/12 season brought their first participation in the Dutch Cup final. It is worth mentioning that Steve Mokone, nicknamed the "Black Meteor", was the first South African to move to Europe and literally shine here.
