History
Formed on 15 April 1946, SteDoCo has spent its entire existence in the amateur tiers, mostly playing in the Vierde Klasse. In 2007, SteDoCo experienced a surge towards the upper tiers of the amateur divisions, achieving five promotions in eight years, after a larger number of sponsors pushed the club towards new ambitions.[1][2] Since 2018, the team competes in the fourth-tier Derde Divisie.[3]
In the first round of the 2021–22 KNVB Cup, SteDoCo lost 5–0 to Eredivisie side FC Utrecht in front of 2,300 people.[4][5]
In the 2022–23 season, SteDoCo qualified for the promotion playoffs. After beating SV TEC 6–1 on aggregate in the first round and VVSB 3–2 in the second round, SteDoCo qualified for the promotion playoff final. However, a 2–1 home loss and 2–0 away defeat to GVVV meant that SteDoCo lost 4–1 on aggregate and missed out on promotion.
In the 2023–24 season, SteDoCo finished 2nd, missing out on the title and promotion by 2 points. In the promotion playoffs, SteDoCo faced Harkemase Boys. After a 2–2 aggregate draw, SteDoCo lost 6–5 on penalties.[6]
