Ido's Football Club
Ido's Football Club, usually known as I.F.C., is a Dutch association football club from Hendrik-Ido-Ambacht. Its grounds are at Sportpark Schildman.
History
Ido's Football Club was established on 20 October 1927, 2 years before its Saturday football rival ASWH, and initially played football only on Sundays. The establishment was a merger of street soccerclubs, HIVV, OVV and SDW.[1] Its members were for the most part left-oriented blue collar workers.[1] IFC's first ground was Den Dommes in Oostendam, later covered by a bridge and road over the Noord River.[1]
Since 2014–2015 IFC also has a team for Saturday soccer. In 2016–2017 this team plays in the Derde Klasse of district South-I. IFC further features women teams, youth teams, and senior teams.[2]
IFC's prime squad are male Sunday "amateurs" playing in the season 2016–2017 in Hoofdklasse B. Coach was Jack van den Berg, who was behind the promotion of the first squads of IFC and neighboring ASWH.[3]
In the 2017–2018 season, the first squads of Sunday and Saturday football are coached by Virgil Breetveld.[4]
