Updated:2026-03-14 06:42 Views:139The Dutch football season is well and truly underway, with the Eredivisie set to kick off this weekend. As we look back at a successful year for Dutch football, it's clear that there have been many highlights to celebrate.
One of the most notable achievements was the success of Ajax in the UEFA Champions League last season. The Amsterdam club reached the semi-finals before falling short against Real Madrid, but their performance under coach Erik ten Hag has already earned them praise from fans and experts alike. Ajax also had a strong showing in the Europa League, reaching the quarter-finals before being eliminated by Arsenal.
In addition to Ajax, there were several other impressive performances throughout the Eredivisie this season. Feyenoord, who won the title last season, have continued their dominance, while PSV Eindhoven and Willem II also made significant progress towards securing European football next season.
There have been some notable departures from the Eredivisie this summer, including former champions Feyenoord and PSV Eindhoven, as well as star striker Memphis Depay, who joined Manchester United. However, there have also been some exciting signings, such as Barcelona defender Ronald Araujo and Liverpool winger Matthijs de Ligt, who will be looking to make a big impact in his first season in Europe.
Overall, the Dutch football scene is looking bright heading into the new season. With so much talent and potential on show, it's clear that Dutch football is in good hands and there's plenty of excitement to come.
