SC Cambuur, formed on June 19, 1964, is a Netherlands Association football club, currently playing in the Eerste Divisie. The club's home ground is the 10,000 seater Cambuur Stadion and they play in yellow shirts and blue shorts. The club's emblem originates from the coat of arms of the House of Cammingha, a Dutch noble family. SC Cambuur played four seasons in the Eredivisie. In 2000 Cambuur Leeuwarden went down to the Eerste Divisie and has been there without success. In the eighties and nineties Cambuur Leeuwarden was a regular contender in the Eerste Divisie playoffs. Cambuur won the Eerste Divisie title in 1992 and promotion in 1998. Back then Leeuwarder millionaire Jan Riedstra (64) was involved. He left Cambuur Leeuwarden in 1999 and after his departure Cambuur Leeuwarden went almost bankrupt in 2005. The same Jan Riedstra saved Cambuur Leeuwarden with his friends Wim Sleijfer, Dirk Hoekstra and Klaas Buwalda by buying the stadium and clearing Cambuur Leeuwarden's debt. Under the leadership of Dutch American GM Alex Pama Cambuur Leeuwarden has found its way up.

Supporters
Cambuur got one firm,
The M.I.-Side, who stand on the South and North stands at Cambuur Stadion. The name comes from the streets where the stands are built:
"M" for the Marathonstraat and
"I" for the Insulindestraat. Most of the hardcore fans of SC Cambuur now sit close to the away fans on the northern side of the stadium. Although Cambuur not being a big club they got the most notorious firm of the Dutch first division.
Rivals
The biggest rivalry is with SC Heerenveen. The fans of both clubs do not like each other. In the eighties and till mid nineties, SC Cambuur was the biggest club in the province. Since 2000 SC Heerenveen has taken that honor. There are some moderate fans who will visit both clubs, but in general both sides hate each other. Other lesser rivals are FC Groningen, BV Veendam, FC Zwolle, Go Ahead Eagles and FC Emmen.
