Feyenoord

Feyenoord Rotterdam is a Dutch sports organization based in the city of Rotterdam. It was founded on 19 July 1908 in the pub "de Vereeniging" under the name Wilhelmina. Football is its most prominent discipline, although it also has basketball, hockey, handball, volleyball and futsal sections. Its first men's football team has competed in the Dutch top flight, the Eredivisie, without interruption since its inaugural season. The club plays its home matches at the Stadion Feijenoord, which has a capacity of 51,177 spectators. Its shirt is half white on the left and half red on the other side, and its shorts are black.

It is the most popular club in the Netherlands and the third most successful in terms of titles won, after AFC Ajax and PSV Eindhoven, as well as being the first Dutch club to win the Intercontinental Cup, the European Cup and the UEFA Cup. It is one of the four Dutch teams that have never been relegated, although it is the only one if regional tournaments since 1898 are taken into account. The club was one of the founders of the Eredivisie in 1956, from which it has never been relegated, and one of the teams that pushed for professionalism in the country.

In its honors list, Feyenoord has sixteen Eredivisie titles, fourteen Dutch Cups, four Dutch Super Cups, one European Cup and two UEFA Cups. Thanks to winning the Intercontinental Cup in 1970, it is one of only two Dutch teams to be crowned world champions, and as such is one of only 32 teams in the entire world that have officially won the title of world club champion, out of more than 300,000 clubs recognized by FIFA.

The high point of its history came in the early 1970s, when it was crowned champion of the European Cup and the Intercontinental Cup. Despite not going through a good period, Feyenoord was the last Dutch team to win an official European tournament, becoming champion of the 2001-02 UEFA Cup in its own stadium. Its most recent league title came in 2023.

It has a historic rivalry with Ajax of Amsterdam, with whom it contests De Klassieker (the Classic), and with Sparta Rotterdam, the main team with which it shares the city. Matches against PSV Eindhoven, a fixture known as De Kraker (the Duel), are also played with great intensity.
