FC Den Bosch is a professional football club from 's-Hertogenbosch (Den Bosch) that plays in the First Division. The club was previously also called FC Den Bosch'67 and BVV Den Bosch. From 1992 the name is FC Den Bosch again.
Until the mid-1960s, two Den Bosch clubs played professional football: BVV and Wilhelmina. Two professional football clubs in a city like 's-Hertogenbosch was pointless according to the local government and they therefore pushed for a merger.
Wilhelmina wanted to continue on her own, but BVV voluntarily decided to switch to amateur football. A new foundation, FC Den Bosch, continued with the professional license from BVV in 1965. For a year the new club played together with Wilhelmina in the second division. A year later, Wilhelmina also decided to join FC Den Bosch, which then received its official name FC Den Bosch '67. Wilhelmina returned to amateur football.
FC Den Bosch plays its matches in the 'De Vliert' stadium with a capacity of 6,500 spectators.
