Original Masita football shirt SBV Excelsior Rotterdam 2007/08

The 2007/08 season was the 46th season of the Rotterdam professional football club SBV Excelsior since the introduction of professional football in 1954. The club had barely survived in the Eredivisie in the previous season.

Head coach was Ton Lokhoff, the successor of the departed Mario Been who was busy in his second season in Kralingen. Led by the former midfielder of PSV and NAC Breda, Excelsior finished in eighteenth and last place in the final ranking, relegating the team directly to the Eerste Divisie.

In the cup tournament, Excelsior lost to Roda JC (3-0) in the eighth finals, after having been dealt with VVV-Venlo (3-2) and Cambuur Leeuwarden (1-2) in the previous rounds. The top scorer was the tall attacker Geert den Ouden with 12 hits in 34 league matches.
