Stichting Betaald Voetbal Vitesse, commonly referred to simply as Vitesse (internationally known as Vitesse Arnhem) is a Dutch football club based in Arnhem, which was founded on 14 May 1892. Vitesse has enjoyed some success in the Eredivisie and featured in the UEFA Cup competition. The owner is a Russian businessman, which makes Vitesse the first Dutch football club owned by a foreigner. Vitesse's home ground since 1998 is the Gelredome.
The idea of conceiving a football team stemmed from the club's early roots as a cricket club.
Vitesse once attracted big name signings into its ranks including Roy Makaay, Nemanja Matić, Nikos Machlas, Sander Westerveld, Danko Lazovic, Pierre van Hooijdonk, Mahamadou Diarra, Philip Cocu and Wilfried Bony . In 1990, the club reached its most recent KNVB Cup final when it was defeated by PSV Eindhoven on a penalty-kick in the 75' minute from Stan Valckx at De Kuip on 25 April 1990.
Vitesse is a Dutch football club from Arnhem, taking its name from the French word for speed. Vitesse may also refer to:
I like to see the lipstick
