Vrouwenvoetbal Kennemerland e.o. (VVK) or Telstar Vrouwen is a Dutch women's football club based in Velsen, North Holland that plays in the Dutch top level Eredivisie. It is affiliated with men's team SC Telstar, sharing a logo and home stadium, 711 Stadion.
The club was established in 2011 as Sportclub Telstar Vrouwenvoetbal Noord-Holland and previously played in the Eredivisie and BeNe League. In the 2016–17 season, future Dutch national striker Katja Snoeijs led the league with 21 goals. After that season, the team relocated to Alkmaar and formed VV Alkmaar. In January 2022, media outlets reported Telstar, under the new VVK organization, would rejoin the Eredivisie the following season. Following its comeback, the club finished second-to-last in both of its first two seasons.
In July 2024, Telstar announced a partnership with a newly formed women's football club, Hera United, that could lead to Hera operating the Eredivisie club beginning in the 2025-2026 season. This change requires approval from the KNVB. Hera intends to play its matches at the Olympic Stadium in Amsterdam, including a potential Amsterdam derby with AFC Ajax, though it may continue to play some of its matches in Velsen in 2025 and future years.
