A regular feature at the Netherlands' top levels of football, Fortuna Sittard is notable for the mixed fortunes it has experienced over the years. Not a team to be deterred by a few setbacks, matches are always exciting and lively events with the sense that anything is possible. Fortuna Sittard tickets are available to buy and sell on StubHub, giving football fans the chance to experience the suspense for themselves!
The comparatively young club of Fortuna Sittard was founded in 1968 when the southern Netherlands' football clubs Fortuna 54 and Sittardia merged. As though to celebrate its fiftieth anniversary, the team closed a successful 2017-18 season by achieving promotion back to the Eredivisie (premier division) after spending sixteen years in the second division, the Eerste Divisie. An exciting win against Jong PSV was nearly marred by a defeat by Jong Ajax - but given promotion rules, Fortuna Sittard just managed to squeeze through. Fortunate indeed! Since 1999 - at which time they were also playing in the Eredivisie - the club has been at home in the Fortuna Sittard stadium, which has a capacity of 12,500 but began an ambitious extension project in 2013. With the turning of the tide in 2018, it looks like the stadium extension was well timed: tickets for Fortuna Sittard are gaining in popularity among fans of Dutch professional football.
A green and yellow Fortuna Sittard shirt has been proudly worn by many young players - particularly during the 1990s, the youth division was famous for spotting and nurturing future talent. Mark van Bommel, Fernando Ricksen and Wilfred Bouma all enjoyed a stint as Fortuna Sittard players and recent squads have been very international, with skilled players loaned to or borrowed from other high-level teams. Within the Netherlands, there has historically been a considerable number of transfers between Fortuna Sittard and PSV Eindhoven, and the club is not known for having any extreme rivalries with other teams. The traditional rivalry between MVV Maastricht and Fortuna Sittard never fails to bring out the strongest emotions in the crowd of fans, however, and the squad regularly meets other clubs such as VVV Venlo Kerkrade or Roda JC Kerkrade in events like the Limburgse Derby. Whether in the Eredivisie or Eerste Divisie, the determination and skill of this ambitious team will delight all football enthusiasts who love to see fortunes being made (or delayed) live. So, don your green and yellow - you can buy or sell your Fortuna Sittard tickets on StubHub now.
