The team's home ground is the 12,500 seater Stadion de Goffert. The club prides itself that it was born out of hard work and dedication and that the working-class founders started playing football not on any grass pitch but in the streets of Nijmegen. It was originally called 'Eendracht' meaning 'Unity' in Dutch language Dutch. The team played well and in 1903, after a merger with the actual Nijmegen home team, their professional status was assured. The club name NEC is an acronym of 'Nijmegen Eendracht Combinatie'. The club has not won any major tournaments to date although they managed to attain runners-up placing in the Dutch Cup competition in 1973, 1983, 1994 and 2000. Some talented players include experienced goalkeeper Dennis Gentenaar, defenders Rob Wielaert and Björn van der Doelen as well as wingers Romano Denneboom and Tininho. Romano Denneboom was selected for the Dutch national team recently. In 2004 the club's management sacked coach Johan Neeskens, who although having a wealth of international experience both as an international player and as a coach, could not string together enough wins since October 2004. Cees Lok took over, but resigned on 19 December 2005 for yet unknown reasons. The average attendance in 2004/05 was 11,800 people.
