Bocholter VV was founded in 1922 by former footballer Johannes Robersscheuten, most known for playing for clubs such as PSV Eindhoven, Antwerp and Capellen. Together with some friends he formed the first squad. In 1924 the club formally joined the Belgian FA and in 1925 it started its first official season at the fourth provincial level, at that time the seventh level in the Belgian football league system.
