Feyenoord are one of Holland’s biggest three clubs. They have never been relegated are known as the people’s club. They are based in Rotterdam and play their football at De Kuip stadium. The fans are known as Het Legioen and are the most vocal, loyal and passionate in Holland.
This summer has seen the departure of several big names – Bruno Martins Indi, Graziano Pellè, Daryl Janmaat and coach Ronald Koeman. New coach Fred Rutten will look to make sound acquisitions, follow the good work of Koeman and look to Feyenoord’s award winning Varkenwood youth academy to fill those gaps and challenge for the Eredivisie title, KNVB Cup and Champions League.
Feyenoord’s Varkenwood youth academy since 2009 has been voted the best in the Netherlands. The club contributed more players to the Dutch 2014 World Cup squad than any other team. The CIES Football Observatory in Switzerland placed Feyenoord as the world number one team in player development for the tournament.
