BV Veendam is a Dutch football club.
The club was founded on September 4, 1894, which makes it one of the oldest professional Dutch football clubs. The club's first name was Look-Out, which was changed to Prinses Juliana Veendam (Princess Juliana Veendam) in 1909, which soon became simply Veendam. Veendam became professional in 1954, when the Dutch professional league was introduced. The professional branch of the club left the club in 1974, to form Sportclub Veendam. The amateur branch became Veendam 1894. Sportclub Veendam would later become BV Veendam. The club has spent the largest part of its professional existence (42 seasons) in the Dutch First Division, where it's also currently playing. The club has spent six seasons in the Second Division, and has played in the Eredivisie for three seasons: 1954/55 (13th), 1986/87 (17th) and 1988/89 (18th).
