History

On 27 October 2021, Achilles Veen defeated GVV Unitas 4–0 to advance to the second round of the 2021–22 KNVB Cup.^[2][3] It was the only Hoofdklasse side to advance to the second round in that season's competition.

In the 2023–24 season, Achilles Veen qualified for the promotion playoffs. They defeated RKVV Westlandia 5–0 on aggregate in the first round, before losing 2–0 on aggregate to VV Smitshoek.^[4] But due to OSS '20's withdrawal from the Derde Divisie, Achilles Veen entered a four-team single-elimination promotion tournament with the three other losing finalists.^[5] However, Achilles Veen lost 2–1 to Rohda Raalte in the semifinal.^[6]
