History
editOn January 25, 2010, HFC Haarlem was declared bankrupt and was thus according to Dutch league rules excluded from the 2009–10 Eerste Divisie.[3]
In February 2010, HFC Haarlem was reborn as an amateur club that acquired the naming and logo rights of the old team.[4] The club began talks for a potential merger with the amateur Haarlem-based side HFC Kennemerland from the Tweede Klasse,[5] It was announced that the merger was completed on April 27; the new club was named Haarlem Kennemerland FC, and would play home games at Haarlem Stadion, thus aiming to continue the legacy of the old HFC Haarlem[2][6] on the license of HFC Kennermerland.
