Mavoc Maaseik, the first name of our club, was founded in 1960 and grew out of the school "Het Heilig Kruis College Maaseik". In '75 -'76 the name Mavoc changed into D & V Motors as headsponsor and the club celebrated the promotion to the highest division in Belgium (ere-divisie). Since '76 our team is playing in the highest division (ere-divisie) and started a great career. In '85 -'86 Mr. Emile De Bruyn, general-director of SCANA-NOLIKO and Mathi Raedschelders, president, gave an extra input to the team. NOLIKO became head-sponsor and with the coach Jos Klaps, we won the Cup and in '85 - '86 NOLIKO Maaseik played its first European match against SC Leipzig (01.11.86). In '90 -'91 our club became for the first time in its history "Champion of Belgium" and won for the second time the Cup; the coach was Bert Goedkoop. Eddy Evens, player of the year became Technical Director and was with Mr. De Bruyn founder of the businessclub AGORA "Zakenvrienden Noliko Maaseik".
A new building was built with a full time secretary and a high culinary restaurant. In '93-'94 and '94-'95 we reached the quarter final of the CEV-cup and lost against Padova (Ita) and Nizhnevartovsk (Rus). Since the introduction of the Champions League in 1996, we are the only team in Europe, which took part to the first 5 editions. With head-coach Anders Kristiansson we made the following European results: '96 (5th) - '97 (2nd), we lost the final against Modena (Ita). '98 (4th) - '99 (2nd) final lost against Treviso (Ita) in Almeria. '00 (3rd), we won the small final against Vienna (Aus) in Treviso. Today all our players and coaches are professionals and the organisation is done by a full-time manager with his assistant and many people who work as volunteers.
