De Graafschap made history on Friday night by becoming champions in the Women's Eerste Divisie. The team won 1-2 against Jong Ajax Vrouwen at Sportpark De Toekomst in Amsterdam. This victory means that De Graafschap is promoted to the Women's Eredivisie for the first time. The match started strong for the club from Doetinchem, with an opening goal from Kee Hubert following a corner kick and a second goal from Inge Bolder. The traveling supporters created an amazing atmosphere and supported the team throughout the match.

After halftime, Jong Ajax tried to come back, but De Graafschap held firm thanks to strong saves from goalkeeper Kiki Vissers. When the final whistle blew, the celebration erupted, and players, staff, and supporters celebrated this historic victory together. The promotion is especially significant as De Graafschap had already won the autumn competition and had to win the final against Jong Ajax, the winner of the spring competition.

Kee Hubert was visibly emotional after the match and spoke about the inspiration they want to provide to other girls to play football. Team manager Hilde Gerritsen and head coach Timo Kleinhesselink also shared their emotions after the victory. Top scorer Sam Roddenhof highlighted the hard work of the team over two years and the fantastic support from the fans. Next year, De Graafschap will play in the Eredivisie, and the champions will be honored this weekend at the Achterland festival in Doetinchem, after which the players will go on vacation to Spain.
