History

From 2007 until 2011 AZ Alkmaar had a successful women's section, but when they decided to pull the plug on the women's team for financial reasons, most of the players moved to nearby Telstar, who were starting up a women's section. The team continued to train in Alkmaar and because the offices were there as well. It was decided after the 2016–17 season to separate from Telstar, move to Alkmaar and form a new club.[1]
