The club was founded in 1903, making it one of the oldest in the Netherlands. Originally known as Venlose Voetbal Vereniging (Venlo Football Association), the club was formed through the merger of two local teams - Quick and EVV.

The home of VVV Venlo is the Seacon Stadion - De Koel, which has a capacity of over 8,000. The stadium was opened in 1972 and has undergone several renovations over the years to meet modern standards. It is known for its lively atmosphere on match days, with fans singing and chanting in support of their beloved club.

Currently playing in the top tier of Dutch football, the Eredivisie, VVV Venlo continues to make its mark in the league. The club's fierce rivalry with fellow Dutch team Vitesse Arnhem is always a highly anticipated match among fans.
