	; '''Reason:''' Lacking in information for such an important team. Many other Bundesliga teams have substantially longer articles which is odd given that Bayern Munich is by far the most successful and most internationally known team in the league. The German article has much more information which could be easily incorporated into this article.

Considerations for nominators and voters

Giving reasons as to why an article should become the Football AID may convince others to cast their vote.
Can the wider football community easily contribute to the article? Or is it something only a small number of people will know about?
Is the article one which you are prepared to work on?

Nominations

The next project article is to be selected on Sunday June 24.

Please add new nominations at the bottom of this section.

Sparta Rotterdam is the oldest professional football club in the Netherlands, and up to a few years ago was one of only four clubs (along with Ajax, PSV and Feyenoord) to have played in the Eredivisie since its establishment in 1956. The club has won the national championship 6 times. It is also the club of the first Dutch football superstar, Bok de Korver. And on April 1, 2008, the club will celebrate its 120th anniversary.
