Twente formed in 1965 when Sportclub Enschede and the Enschedese Boys, two professional sides, joined forces, and under Kees Rijvers they finished in the top five every year from 1969 to 1973. They reached the 1974–75 UEFA Cup final, where Borussia Mönchengladbach beat them. Relegation came in 1983, and the club's parent company, FC Twente '65, went bankrupt in 2002–03. Steve McClaren's side won the 2009–10 title on the final day with a 2–0 win at NAC, which put Twente into the Champions League group stage for the first time. After relegation in 2017–18, promotion back was secured on 22 April 2019.
In Enschede, De Grolsch Veste took over from the old Diekman Stadion on 22 March 1998. Construction began on 31 January 1997, took 14 months and cost an estimated 33 million guilders. The first match, on 10 May 1998, ended in a 3–0 win over PSV in Eredivisie. A partial second ring lifted the capacity to 24,000 seats from the start of 2008–09, and a second expansion, completed in 2011, brought it to 30,205.
