RCVV Zwart-Wit '28 (full name: Rotterdamse Christelijke Voetbalvereniging Zwart-Wit 1928) was a Dutch Saturday football club from Rotterdam, dubbed the "Feyenoord of Saturday Football". Its women's team won the 2000 National Women's Cup then played in the professional Eredivisie. Its men's team won the National Amateur Championship in 1971, then played in the Hoofdklasse.
Zwart-Wit was established on 1 May 1928. The men's first squad played in the 1920s and 1930 in the second division of the CNVB Rotterdam.
In 1942 the club promoted to the first division of the CNVB Rotterdam and in 1946 to the Vierde Klasse of the KNVB. In 1956 Zwart-Wit ascended to the Derde Klasse and 1958 to the Tweede Klasse.
In 1971 the men promoted to Eerste Klasse where they played until 1996, except for three seasons back in the Tweede Klasse. In 1971 Zwart-Wit also won the National Amateur Championship, beating Huizen, the Sunday Champion, 2-1. It has previously secured the National Saturday Football Championship of the Netherlands. Zwart-Wit repeated the National Saturday Championship in 1972.
The women's section was started in 1971. In 2000 the women's first squad won the national KNVB Women's Cup, beating Saestum in the national finals, 4-2. For Zwart Wit scored Sandra Roos (3) and Sandra Muller (1).
In 1996 the Zwart-Wit '28 men squad became a Hoofdklasse team. In 2001 it won the District Cup West IV. In 2002 they lost against HFC Haarlem in the KNVB Cup, 5-2.
Zwart-Wit 28 went bankrupt on 24 February 2004 due to high (amateur) player salaries, dwindling interest in games, and mismanagement. While rumors on a possible merger still circulated in its final year, the situation deteriorated such that it had to pull its teams from their divisions. Next the club house burned down and nothing was left but to declare bankruptcy. The rise and downfall of the once successful club, dubbed "Feyenoord of Saturday soccer", continues to draw media attention.
