Volkskrant sports journalist Willem Vissers experienced the promotion of FC Volendam up close in 2003. “It’s super cosy. The stadium is located in the middle of the dike, so to speak. That makes it fun. You also have to feel the charm, but I don’t know the political relationships well. The images look fantastic, of course. “
NH Sport, in collaboration with LOVE TV, will broadcast the official celebration of FC Volendam on Sunday from 2.45 pm live on TV. Players and staff arrive at the harbor at 3 pm by boat and depart around 3:30 pm with De Heen-en-Weer 10 via Zeestraat towards the Volendam stadium where they are expected at 4.30 pm.
