‘It is always nice when existing relationships grow into a role as Partner, in this case even Strategic Partner,’ says Ruud van der Knaap, commercial director of Feyenoord. 'Van Ginkel Groep has been a familiar face within our business network for over a decade and has had a Business Unit in De Kuip for many years. Now we are going to further intensify this pleasant cooperation: in the new season, Van Ginkel Groep will join us, among other things, in actively helping our women's team and our social projects in the field of sports, exercise and talent development to grow further.'

Rotterdam roots
Ferdy van Ginkel, founder and CEO of Van Ginkel Groep: ‘Our commitment to Feyenoord goes beyond football; it's about working with a club that, like us, stands for decisiveness, reliability and a strong foundation. We are proud to join as a Strategic Partner.'
