History
Formed on 15 April 1946, SteDoCo has spent its entire existence in the amateur tiers, mostly playing in the Vierde Klasse. In 2007, SteDoCo experienced a surge towards the upper tiers of the amateur divisions, achieving five promotions in eight years, after a larger number of sponsors pushed the club towards new ambitions.{{cite web |title=Historie |url=https://www.stedoco.nl/255/historie/ |website=stedoco.nl |publisher=SteDoCo |accessdate=27 October 2020 |language=Dutch}}[http://www.regio-voetbal.nl/nieuws/achilles-veen-en-stedoco-met-rijsoord-en-rvvh-hoofdklasse Achilles Veen en SteDoCo met Rijsoord en RVVH in hoofdklasse A] Regio-voetbal Since 2018, the team competes in the fourth-tier Derde Divisie.{{cite news |title=SteDoCo pakt historische promotie naar Derde Divisie |url=https://www.stedoco.nl/1/655/stedoco-pakt-historische-promotie-naar-derde-divisie/ |accessdate=27 October 2020 |work=SteDoCo |date=11 June 2018 |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20201027175240/https://www.stedoco.nl/1/655/stedoco-pakt-historische-promotie-naar-derde-divisie/ |archivedate=27 October 2020 |language=Dutch}}
