Swift Roermond is a former Dutchhandball club from Roermond. Its women's team was the most successful team in the Dutch Championship with 19 championships between 1963 and 1998,[1] and it reached the European Cup's final in 1976.[2] It remains the only Dutch team that has achieved this to date.[3] The 1980s were mostly unsuccessful for the club, but in the 1990s it won a record seven titles in a row, becoming a regular of the new Champions League.[4]
The chosen professional path, which attracted many foreign players, turned out to be dead-end. This led to establishing a new handball club S2000 by a number of former players of Swift Roermond. Many players flowed and also started to join S2000. Eventually, on 21 September 2000, the club ceased to exist.
