Willem II 's glory days
The Tilburgers can look back on a very nice history of the club. The club managed to win the national title in the Netherlands 3 times. Unfortunately this has been a long time ago. The last national title was won in 1955.
Despite that, Willem II certainly did not sit still. At the end of the 20th century, the early 21st century, the club regularly managed to secure a European spot. They even did this fairly recently (season 2020/2021). The team played European football 4 times during this period. They were allowed to participate 3 times in the current Europa league and 1 time in the biggest final tournament for club football; the Champions League.
Unfortunately, after conquering the European ticket, the team does not always manage to get a spot in the group stage. The club was eliminated 3 times in the preliminary rounds of the Europa league. Despite the fact that there was no great success, the placement for the Europa league was a big party throughout Tilburg.
Almost every Tilburger gives the club a warm heart and hopes for the best for the team. For the Willem II supporters, the European trips were a wonderful adventure. They had enjoyed this and created a gigantic atmosphere during every match. The matches against the Rangers in 2020/2021 were therefore very memorable.

Willem II 's club icons
When we talk about the club icons of the Tilburgers, there are a lot to name. Of course you have the fantastic trainer Co-Adriaanse, but also club top scorer Piet de Jong.
These icons have lifted the club to championships and ensured that the team qualified for the European places.
Piet de Jong scored no fewer than 216 goals for Willem II in the period from 1947 to 1961 . He only needed 363 games for this. Once a goal in 2 matches is certainly an achievement that you as a striker can be very proud of.
If we look at the top scorer in the Eredivisie for Willem II , the club icon is Coy Koopal who is at the top of the list. He was able to show his qualities on the largest football stage in the Netherlands and excelled in this. He managed to score 94 times for Willem II in the Eredivisie and is therefore all-time top scorer in the Eredivisie for the club.
Some of the following players may not have played for too long in the first team for Willem II , but they have been trained or improved by the club. These are names such as Frenkie de Jong, Virgil van Dijk, Marc Overmars and Mousa Dembélé. These greats will always be associated with the club.
