De Graafschap Doetinchem is a football club from Doetinchem, The Netherlands. It was formed on 1 February 1954 and used to play their games on a pitch named Stadion van de Superboeren (literally Stadium of the Super Farmers). Their current stadium stands on where the old pitch used to be located. Their name means the Count's Territory in Dutch although they are nicknamed the 'Super Farmers'.
While not a large club by European club football standards, this club has remained a regular fixture in the Dutch Eredivisie although to date, it has never won any silverware of importance. It was a club of great tradition, however, with players such as the current PSV Eindhoven coach Guus Hiddink ensuring exciting football being played.
Their colors are blue with white striped shirt and white shorts.
