Almere City Football Club is a professional football club based in Almere, Netherlands. While the current organization was founded in 2001, it has roots dating back to 1959. The club currently compete in the Eerste Divisie, following relegation from the Eredivisie in 2024–25. They play their home matches at the 4,501-capacity Yanmar Stadion.
The club builds on former clubs from Amsterdam and is a result of ambitions of the Almere city council to play an active role in top sports. To that end, the sports club Omniworld was formed, which consisted of a volleyball branch, a basketball branch and a football branch. Prior to the 2010–11 season, the club was renamed to Almere City FC.
