Sportclub Telstar Vrouwenvoetbal Noord-Holland is a Dutch women's football club based in Velsen that plays in the Dutch top level Eredivisie. It is connected to SC Telstar.
The club was established in 2011 and previously played in the BeNe League. After the 2016–17 season, the team relocated to Alkmaar and formed VV Alkmaar.[1][2][3] In February 2022, media outlets reported Telstar would rejoin the Eredivisie the following season.[4] The team's home stadium is the 5,200 seat 711 Stadion.
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.[5] This change requires approval from the KNVB.[6] Hera intends to play its matches at the Olympic Stadium in Amsterdam.[7]
