This is Drienerlo

Football at every level, with a student spirit

v.v. Drienerlo is the student football association of the University of Twente. Both outdoor and indoor football are played recreationally and competitively, and members can combine different forms of football in the way that suits them.

Football takes the forefront, but having fun matters just as much. Alongside official KNVB competitions and internal football, members organize tournaments, activities, and social events throughout the year.

Field football

v.v. Drienerlo participates in the official KNVB competitions in the Oost district with seven men's teams and two women's teams. Most competition matches take place on Saturdays, with the exception of women's team 2 on Friday evenings and the Sunday men's team.

The 1st men's team competes in the 4th class, while the other teams range down to the reserve 6th class. The 1st women's team plays in the 4th class and the 2nd women's team competes in the 7-a-side league. Every team has the opportunity to train at least twice a week for a minimum of one and a half hours. The competitive selection teams—the 1st and 2nd teams—have a training obligation.

Members who want to dedicate less time to football or keep their weekends free can join as training members. Since 2001, Drienerlo has also organized the internal field competition (IVC): weekday evening 7-a-side matches played on half an artificial-turf pitch.

Futsal

Futsal has an important place within Drienerlo. Four teams compete in the KNVB futsal competition, ranging from the Topklasse for Futsal 1 to the 4th class. That gives players room to find a team that matches their ambitions and level.

Matches are scheduled on weekday evenings, making futsal a natural complement to outdoor football at the weekend. The external futsal teams—Futsal 1 through 4—train twice a week on Mondays and Wednesdays.

Beyond matchday

A club built by its members

Beyond regular training sessions and matches, Drienerlo organizes many internal and external tournaments on both the field and in the sports hall. Two major international tournaments draw participants from across Europe each season: the indoor TISC tournament in December and BSIT for field teams in June. The DD-Cup, organized in March, is a futsal tournament dedicated to women.

Drienerlo teams also travel to tournaments across the Netherlands. Closer to home, the annual StAf-Toernooi brings together student associations from the University of Twente and Saxion. Social gatherings, mix tournaments, and Drienerlo days offer plenty of opportunities to meet members outside your own team throughout the year.

Active members make all of this possible. Alongside playing football, they contribute to the board, tournament committees, technical committee, events committee, and many other parts of the association. Taking on a role is a chance to shape the club, build something together, and become part of the wider Drienerlo community.
