History
RKVV DEM was founded on 1 October 1922 as RKVV DES, short for "Door Eendracht Sterk". After another club with the name was detected the name was changed to DEM.
From 1940 to 2018, the Sunday male team hovered mostly between the Derde Klasse, Tweede Klasse and Eerste Klasse, with a limited number of seasons also in Vierde Klasse. In 2018 it reached the Hoofdklasse through playoffs.
The first squad won a 2018–19 championship in the Hoofdklasse.{{cite news |last1=van Dalsem |first1=Kees |title=Beverwijk uitgelopen om titel DEM te zien; hele middag kampioensfeer op sportpark Adrichem |url=https://www.noordhollandsdagblad.nl/cnt/dmf20190526_83396441 |access-date=30 December 2020 |work=Noordhollands Dagblad |date=26 May 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201230103125/https://www.noordhollandsdagblad.nl/cnt/dmf20190526_83396441 |archive-date=30 December 2020 |language=Dutch}}{{cite news |last1=Willemsen |first1=Robbert |title=Achilles 1894 laat DEM hard werken voor kampioenschap |url=https://assercourant.nl/artikel/1020563/achilles-1894-laat-dem-hard-werken-voor-kampioenschap.html |access-date=30 December 2020 |work=Asser Courant |date=26 May 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190621083122/https://assercourant.nl/artikel/1020563/achilles-1894-laat-dem-hard-werken-voor-kampioenschap.html |archive-date=21 June 2019 |language=Dutch}}{{cite news |last1=Bosma |first1=Symen |title=Hoogeveen mist titel in hoofdklasse; MSC en Be Quick 1887 veilig |url=https://www.dvhn.nl/sport/Hoogeveen-mist-titel-in-hoofdklasse-MSC-en-Be-Quick-1887-veilig-24493358.html |access-date=30 December 2020 |work=Dagblad van het Noorden |date=26 May 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190621083106/https://www.dvhn.nl/sport/Hoogeveen-mist-titel-in-hoofdklasse-MSC-en-Be-Quick-1887-veilig-24493358.html |archive-date=21 June 2019 |language=Dutch}} It was led by coach Arvid Smit.
