FC Utrecht is a Dutch football club founded on July 1, 1970. It was a merger of three clubs from the city of Utrecht: DOS, Elinkwijk and Velox. It featured in the European Cup in the 1980s several times but suffered a downturn in fortunes after 1991 and had to wait for a further ten years to play European football again.
DOS won the national championship in 1958. FC Utrecht has won the KNVB Cup three times: in 1985, 2003 and 2004. In 2004 FC Utrecht won the Johan Cruijff Shield. FC Utrecht was the first club outside the traditional top three Ajax, Feyenoord and PSV to win this Trophy. FC Utrecht is also the only club outside the traditional top three that has never relegated out of the Dutch Eredivisie. Partly the cause of this may be the relatively late founding, but it has to be noted that every other team, apart from the traditional top three, currently in the Eredivisie has relegated at least once since the founding of FC Utrecht.
Its stadium is the Stadion Galgenwaard having been previously first named Galgenwaard and later Nieuw Galgenwaard with a current capacity of 24,426 spectators. The average attendance in 2004/05 was 19,600 people. In the season 2006/07 the average attendance has risen to 20,004 people. The club's colours are red and white.
Willem van Hanegem has been appointed manager of FC Utrecht in July 2007. Foeke Booy, the previous manager who led the team to two cup titles, has left the club for Saudi-Arabia.
