Scheepvaartbeker, wedstrijden in het Stadion, Arnold van Roessel, 1918

Scheepvaartbeker, wedstrijden in het stadion maker ontwerper/artdirector: roessel, arnold van drukker: steendrukkerij van roessel & co "the tournament for the scheepvaartbeker originally consisted of athletic competitions for army and navy, and was first held in 1915. Starting from 1917, it also included a pre-season football competition, open to clubs from the eerste klasse, champions of the tweede klasse and winners of the dutch cup. The losing finalists were given the scheltemabeker, which thus served as a runners-up cup, like (since 1918) the revue-beker at the tournament for the zilveren voetbal in rotterdam. Although the third edition attracted a record number of clubs from all over the country, it was decided to discontinue the tournament. A final edition was held in 1920, at which the three former winners played for permanent possession of the scheepvaartbeker while the three former runners-up were invited to contest the right to own the scheltemabeker, which can therefore be considered to have been a veritable "cup der verlierer", three quarters of a century before franz beckenbauer coined the term for the uefa cup.
