After the founding of the Hoofdklasse in 1973 VV Hoogeveen soon joined. In 1975 the club promoted to what was then the highest amateur league. The biggest success of the club came in 1978, when the team became champion of the ‘Hoofdklasse B’ and ‘Dutch amateur champion’ of the Sunday ‘Hoofdklasse’. In subsequent years VV Hoogeveen managed to play many additional seasons in the ‘Hoofdklasse’.
