About

MVV Maastricht (Dutch pronunciation: , full name Maatschappelijke Voetbal Vereniging Maastricht ) is a Dutch professional football club from the city of Maastricht, founded on 2 April 1902. Because their logo is based on the city's coat of arms, an armed angel holding a red shield with a white star, they are nicknamed "de Sterrendragers" ("Wearers of Stars") and, in local dialect, "Us MVV'ke" ("our little MVV"). Until 2011, the club was just Maastrichtse Voetbal Vereniging, until the formal name changed to get the city name included in the full title.
