Emmen Football Club is a professional Dutch team from the city of the same name. It was founded in 1925 and plays their home games at De Oude Meerdijk Stadium, which has a capacity of 8,600 people.

The Emmen Amateur Club was founded in 1925. When the Dutch Professional League was founded in 1954, the team chose to retain its amateur status. It finally joined the pros in 1985. In 1988 it was divided into two sections - amateur and professional. Mostly known as BVO Emmen, but in 2005 the professional football club Emmen changed its name to FC Emmen and the reasons were two - first one, they have hoped that the new name would better reflect the history of the club, and second one, because many people were mistaken and considered BVO to be an abbreviation similar to PSV, RBC or ADO.

Emmen FC has reached the playoffs of Erste Division (First Division) 11 times and in 2018 managed to win a promotion to the Eredivisie for the first time in its history, after beating Sparta Rotterdam 3:1 in the playoff finals for promotion/elimination.

They have played their first match in the Eredivisie on August 12, 2018 against ADO and won the game - 1:2.

FC Emmen's home kit is red and white shirts with white shorts and white socks. Their visiting kit is black and purple T-shirts, black shorts and white socks. The team's old stadium is JenS Vesting, better known as De Meerdijk, after their current De Oude Meerdijk stadium became the scene for several matches at the 2005 UEFA World Cup.
