Vrouwenvoetbal Kennemerland e.o. (VVK) or Telstar Vrouwen was a Dutch women's football club based in Velsen, North Holland that played in the Dutch top level Eredivisie. It was affiliated with men's team SC Telstar, sharing a logo and home stadium. The club transferred its license of the women's team to run by a new club, Hera United in Amsterdam, in September 2025.[1][2][3]

The club was established in 2011. Its first season was its most successful, finishing third out of seven Eredivisie teams. Many of its initial players came from AZ Alkmaar, which had discontinued its women's team.[4] The following three seasons, the club competed in the BeNe League before returning to the reformed Eredivisie. In the 2016–17 season, future Dutch national striker Katja Snoeijs led the league with 21 goals.[5] After that season, the team relocated to Alkmaar and formed VV Alkmaar.[6][7][8]

In January 2022, media outlets reported Telstar would rejoin the Eredivisie the following season.[9][10] Following its return, the club finished second-to-last in each of its three seasons. Marelle Worm [nl] coached the team upon its return to the Eredivisie before being fired in February 2025. She was replaced by former Ajax and AZ coach Ed Engelkes.[11][12][13]

After three seasons, the club transferred its team, license, and place in the Eredivise to Hera United.[14] The upstart Hera and Telstar first announced a partnership in July 2024.[1] This change required approval from the KNVB.[15] In December 2024, the KNVB approved a rule change allowing a women's-only club to field a professional team, a necessary step for Hera to take over the club.[16] In June 2025, the KNVB approved additional needed rule changes.[17] The final approval came in September 2025. Telstar and Hera would jointly operate a youth program, Hera-Telstar Opleidingen.[3][14] Hera leadership said they intended to host matches at the Olympic Stadium in Amsterdam,[18] including a potential Amsterdam derby with AFC Ajax.[19] In August 2025, the club announced it would play its home games at Sportpark Goed Genoeg in Amsterdam for the 2025–26 season.[2]
