Known as De Sterrendragers (\"The Star-bearers\") for the stars on the crest drawn from the Maastricht coat of arms. They have played at the Stadion De Geusselt since 1962. Once a permanent fixture in the Dutch top flight, MVV have been a second-tier side since their relegation from the Eredivisie in 2000.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2016\/2017 campaign, in which this classy home shirt was worn, was one of the brightest in MVV's recent history. Under long-serving manager Ron Elsen, the club mounted a serious push for a return to the Eredivisie via the Eerste Divisie promotion play-offs, eventually reaching the final round, where they faced fellow Limburg side Roda JC Kerkrade for a place in the top flight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe two-legged final was a heartbreakingly tight affair. A goalless draw at De Geusselt on 25 May left everything to play for in Kerkrade three days later, but a single Roda goal in the 26th minute on 28 May was enough to settle the tie 1-0 on aggregate and send the cross-town rivals up. The KNVB Cup, meanwhile, brought only a brief run before elimination on penalties.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVersatile attacker Joeri Schroyen was the standout performer, chipping in with 9 goals and 11 assists from midfield and being voted MVV's Player of the Season for his troubles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFollow the club on X: @mvvmaastricht\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Surprise Shirts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55565732872568,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0509\/5564\/9221\/files\/MVVMaastricht2016_2017HomeShirt_1.jpg?v=1779205953","url":"https:\/\/surpriseshirts.co.uk\/products\/mvv-maastricht-2016-2017-home-shirt","provider":"Surprise Shirts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
