TSV NOAD

NOAD was founded on 5 June 1910. Unlike most other clubs in North Brabant, the club was not formed as Roman Catholic but was rather secular. Initially, NOAD mainly played friendly matches against Roman Catholic institutes. Many so-called Roman Catholic clubs were not allowed by the clergy to play the "savages" of NOAD.

The first competitive league matches were played as Brabantian Football Association (BVB). In November 1917, the Royal Dutch Football Association (KNVB) placed NOAD in the National 2nd Klasse B. This meant, that the team regularly left the city and the province of Brabant to play at national level. NOAD immediately won the National 2nd Klasse B title. In order to reach promotion to the National 1st Division, two games had to be played against Bredania.{{cite web |title=Bredania |url=https://www.voetbalarchieven.nl/clubs/bredania/ |website=Voetbalarchieven |access-date=24 January 2022 |language=nl |date=5 January 2014}} In Breda, the score was 0–0. At home on Bosscheweg, Jan Panis scored the only goal – in front of more than 3,000 spectators – and secured the promotion to the 1st Division.

From 1918, the club played at the highest level, and from 1954 to 1971 as a professional club. In 1971, the municipality of Tilburg wanted a merger of the three professional teams of the town Willem II, NOAD and LONGA, but Willem II refused. The result was that NOAD and LONGA became non-league amateur clubs and Willem II continued as the only professional team of the city.{{cite web |last1=Verhoeven |first1=Harrie |title=Uit de oude doos: Clubsentiment verhindert fusie |url=https://www.willem-ii.nl/artikel/uit-de-oude-doos-clubsentiment-verhindert-fusie |website=Willem II |access-date=24 January 2022 |language=nl-NL}} Eventually in 2017, NOAD merged with LONGA and RKTVV to form FC Tilburg.{{cite web |title=FC Tilburg |url=https://oldstars.nl/club/fc-tilburg/ |website=OldStars |access-date=24 January 2022 |language=nl}}

The exact meaning of the club name is unclear. TSV stands for Tilburgse Sportvereniging (Tilburgian Sports Association), and NOAD probably stands for "Nooit Ophouden Altijd Doorspelen" (Never Stop Always Play), which has been the most commonly used explanation.{{cite book |last1=Ego |first1=Ton |title=Voetbal verenigingsnamen verklaard : 1.800 namen van Nederlandse voetbalverenigingen verklaard |date=2007 |publisher=Free Musketeers |location=Woerden |isbn=9789085397441 |edition=1e dr |language=nl}} Another theory is that the name means is "Nooit Ophouden Altijd Doorgaan" (Never Stop Always Continue).{{cite web |title=Sportbonden, sportclubs en sportperiodieken in Nederland tot 1940 |url=http://resources.huygens.knaw.nl/sportbondenclubsperiodieken/gids/search?fulltext=N.O.A.D.&prov=all&sort_on=plaats&submit=Zoek&sportall=all&sport_orgtype=vereniging&levb=all |website=resources.huygens.knaw.nl |access-date=24 January 2022 |language=nl |date=5 June 2014}}
