IJsselmeervogels (Dutch pronunciation: [ˌɛisəlˈmeːrˌvoːɣəls]) is a Dutch football club from Spakenburg, in the province of Utrecht. Founded on 6 June 1932, the club plays its home matches at Sportpark De Westmaat. Nicknamed De Rooien ("the Reds"), IJsselmeervogels is one of the most decorated amateur clubs in the Netherlands, having won the overall Dutch amateur championship seven times (a national record shared with VV Katwijk). The club competes in the Tweede Divisie, the third tier of Dutch football and the top level for amateur sides. IJsselmeervogels' long-standing local rivalry with SV Spakenburg—their neighbours and co-tenants at De Westmaat—is contested in the Derby van Spakenburg.
