Our Pitch, Our Passion.
(TU) Delft Chinese Football, since 1989.

Who We Are
The Delft Chinese Football (DCF) team, established in 1989, has a rich history and long-standing traditions as a football team primarily composed of Chinese students from Delft University of Technology. Over the years, DCF has become an important part of the Chinese student and scholar community in the Netherlands. In recent years, the team proudly won the Dutch-Belgian Cup in 2014 and 2024, competing against Chinese university teams from the Netherlands and Belgium.
DCF is committed to providing regular opportunities for football enthusiasts in Delft and its surrounding areas to play, connect, and make lasting friendships through the sport. The team brings together students, scholars, and professionals from all walks of life, offering a welcoming environment for both seasoned players and newcomers.
With nearly 30 years of development, DCF has grown into a well-established football organization within the Chinese community in the Netherlands, particularly in the broader area of Delft. The team fosters a close-knit, supportive atmosphere where members not only bond on the field but also help one another off the pitch. The team boasts a harmonious atmosphere, with players supporting each other both on and off the pitch. They are not just teammates but also friends who rely on one another in everyday life.
The DCF football team warmly welcomes new members to join and be part of this vibrant community!
