Feyenoord preseason prep and De Kuip Cup launch

Entities: Giovanni van Bronckhorst · Feyenoord Rotterdam · Tobias van den Elshout · Rayo Vallecano · Shaqueel van Persie

Overview

By July 2026 Feyenoord had assembled a 32‑player squad for its pre‑season camp in Tubize, featuring World Cup participants Ayase Ueda, Tsuyoshi Watanabe and Anis Hadj Moussa, and new signings Charles Vanhoutte, Nacho Ferri, Tjark Ernst and Mika Mármol. The camp concluded with a friendly against Rayo Vallecano at De Kuip, followed by a match with Atalanta and the season‑opening Eredivisie fixture away at Sparta Rotterdam, reflecting Giovanni van Bronckhorst’s emphasis on a fast, direct style. The inaugural “De Kuip Cup” was announced for 2 August, renaming the traditional season‑opening friendly and pairing Feyenoord with Italian side Atalanta in a ceremony that includes a Legends reunion, a dome‑inspired trophy and two 15‑minute extra‑time periods. On 25 July Feyenoord hosted Rayo Vallecano in a 120‑minute pre‑season match. Shaqueel van Persie gave the hosts an early lead, Álvaro García equalised before halftime, and Tobias van den Elshout scored in the extra period to secure a 2‑1 victory. The win marked Feyenoord’s fourth friendly triumph of the summer, adding to earlier 6‑0, 3‑1 and 3‑1 victories. Coach van Bronckhorst used the game to test his squad, including recent signings, while 20‑year‑old Givairo Read captained the side, a decision the coach later called “no good idea to make Ernst the captain.” Feyenoord will finish its preparation with the Atalanta match before the Eredivisie opener. The 2‑1 win was highlighted by Shaqueel van Persie's early goal and a late winner from Tobias van den Elshout during the extra period. Van Bronckhorst praised the unbeaten run and the contributions of new arrivals such as Nacho Ferri, Charles Vanhoutte and goalkeeper Tjark Ernst.
