History


The club was founded in 1902 as Be Quick by the Hollander brothers. The name was soon changed to Go Ahead at the request of the Dutch Football Association. The suffix "Eagles" was added in 1971, following a suggestion from then head coach Barry Hughes.[2] The eagle is the charge in the coat of arms of the city of Deventer.


Go Ahead Eagles were famously the only side to defeat Ajax in any competition during the 1971–72 season when they won 3–2 at De Adelaarshorst in the Eredivisie. They have participated in the UEFA Cup once, in the 1965–66 season, losing in the first round to Celtic.



Recent seasons


After almost two decades in the second division, Go Ahead won promotion to the 2013–14 Eredivisie at the end of the 2012–13 season, winning the promotion play-offs.[3] The club remained in the top division for the 2014–15 season, finishing 13th.


Go Ahead Eagles would compete in Europe in the 2015–16 UEFA Europa League due to the Netherlands' first place in UEFA Respect Fair Play ranking. National Fair Play winner Twente withdrew due to financial difficulties, making the place for Go Ahead Eagles. However, they also suffered relegation after losing 2–0 on aggregate to De Graafschap in the May 2015 promotion/relegation play-offs.[4] In July 2015, they were beaten 2–5 on aggregate by Hungarian side Ferencváros[5] in the first Europa League qualifying round with the home leg played in Emmen due to the Adelaarshorst being renovated, and the away leg without spectators because the Hungarians were serving a ban by UEFA.


The club bounced back to the Eredivisie on the first attempt in May 2016 after beating De Graafschap 5–2 on aggregate in the promotion/relegation play-offs,[6] but were relegated again at the end of the 2016–17 season.

Rivalries



Go Ahead Eagles' biggest rivals are PEC Zwolle.[7] Both clubs are located at the river IJssel, hence the name IJssel-derby. In the early years, Go Ahead was the best club in the region but since the relegation to the Dutch First Division in 1987, Zwolle has won most derbies. Further teams who share a rivalry with Go Ahead Eagles include FC Twente, Vitesse Arnhem and De Graafschap.
