For the tenth consecutive year, the pitch at De Kuip has been voted the best in the Netherlands. On Thursday afternoon, Evgeniy Levchenko, chairman of the Players' Union VVCS, presented the award for the "Best Field of the Eredivisie 2023-2024 season" at Stadion Feijenoord.
The final standings of the VVCS Pitch Competition are determined annually by the captains of the visiting clubs, who rate the pitch after each match. Just like the past nine seasons, the pitch at De Kuip was rated the best.
"This achievement is thanks to the entire turf team," said Mario Spaans, Team Leader of Field Maintenance. "This past season, there were relatively short periods between matches, and on top of that, it rained continuously for several days, which presented quite a few challenges throughout the season. We are therefore especially proud to end the season once again with this honorable award and are already looking forward to the new football season."
