European club friendlies in the Netherlands

Entities: Tzoka · Charalaboglou · Volos FC · Urto · SC Cambuur

Overview

In early July 2026, Cypriot side AEK Larnaca traveled to the Netherlands and secured a 2‑1 win over local team Helmond in a preseason friendly.

Later that month, Greek club Volos FC continued the pattern of foreign clubs using Dutch venues for preparation, defeating SC Cambuur 2‑1 on Dutch soil. The match featured goals from Tzoka and Charalaboglou, a red card for Urto, and set up Volos' next friendly against Heracles.

These two events illustrate a brief series of Mediterranean clubs staging competitive summer friendlies in the Netherlands, each resulting in narrow 2‑1 victories against Dutch opposition.
