Wikipedia - The Hague Royals
The Hague Royals were a Dutch basketball club based in The Hague. Established in 2020, the team played in the highest level of basketball in the Netherlands for two seasons. Home games are played in the Sportcampus Zuiderpark, which has a capacity of 3,500 people.
The Royals played in the 2020–21 and 2021–22 seasons of the Dutch Basketball League (DBL) and later the BNXT League, the top flight divisions of Dutch basketball. They were denied a license in 2022 for the following season. After trying to revive the club, the Royals decided to dissolve the club in 2023.
History
Before the establishment of the Royals, the last time a professional basketball team played at the highest level was C3 Cobra's the 2000–01 season. In May 2020, The Hague Royals announced its plans to play in the Dutch Basketball League (DBL) starting from the 2020–21 season. The name Royals comes from the reputation of The Hague as the Hofstad, where the Dutch royal family is seated.
On 20 June 2020, Bert Samson was announced as the first head coach of the Royals. On 10 August, the Royals signed Sam van Dijk as its first player ever. On 27 August, the DBL granted the club a license for the 2020–21 season. On 3 October, the Royals played their first ever DBL game, losing away against Aris Leeuwarden, 63–81.
In the 2021–22 season, the Royals played in the BNXT League, in which the national leagues of Belgium and the Netherlands have been merged. The Royals ended 21st out of the 21 teams with one victory in the season. The Royals failed to obtain a club licence for the 2022–23 season, the club appealed the decision but without success.
During the 2022–23 season, the club went into hiatus while the organisation aimed for a comeback the next season. In September 2023, the board announced the dissolution of the club after their application for a license in the 2023–24 season was once again rejected by the BNXT League.
Die Royals waren in den 1960er und 1970er Jahren eine der erfolgreichsten Mannschaften in den Niederlanden und gewannen in dieser Zeit fünfmal die niederländische Meisterschaft. In den letzten Jahren ist der Verein jedoch nicht mehr so erfolgreich gewesen und konnte zuletzt 2003 die Meisterschaft gewinnen.
Trotz der fehlenden Erfolge in den letzten Jahren ist The Hague Royals immer noch einer der beliebtesten Basketballvereine in den Niederlanden. Die Mannschaft erfreut sich einer großen Fangemeinde und die Heimspiele sind stets gut besucht.
Die Royals sind bekannt für ihren schnellen und offensiven Spielstil. Die Mannschaft verfügt über einige sehr talentierte Spieler, die in der Lage sind, spektakuläre Aktionen zu zeigen. The Hague Royals ist ein Verein, der immer für eine Überraschung gut ist.
In der Saison 2022/23 spielt The Hague Royals in der BNXT League, einer gemeinsamen Liga der Niederlande und Belgiens. Die Royals sind ein ernstzunehmender Anwärter auf den Meistertitel und wollen nach vielen Jahren endlich wieder die Meisterschaft gewinnen.
