History of PEC Zwolle
Founding and Early Years
PEC Zwolle was born on 12 June 1910 from the merger of two clubs in the city, Prins Hendrik and Ende Desespereert Nimmer ("And Never Despair"), giving the club its PEC acronym. The original club went bankrupt in 1990, was refounded as FC Zwolle, before reclaiming its historic name in 2012.

Nicknamed "Blauwvingers" (Bluefingers), a traditional nickname for Zwolle residents whose origin remains uncertain, the club plays at MAC³PARK Stadion, with a capacity of 14,000.
Great Managers
Ron Jans (2013-2017) remains the most significant coach in club history, winning PEC's only-ever KNVB Cup in 2014 (5-1 over Ajax) and the Johan Cruyff Shield the same year, before leading the club into the 2015-16 Europa League play-offs.
Iconic Players
Jaap Stam, a future mainstay of Ajax, PSV, Manchester United and the Netherlands, came through the club's ranks, alongside historic goalkeeper Piet Schrijvers.
