    • Additionally, to strengthen their defensive depth, the club has brought in centre-back Tsuyoshi Watanabe and left-back Jordan Bos.

Notable departures include Igor Paixão, David Hancko, Antoni Milambo, Quilindschy Hartman, Marcus Pedersen, Thomas van den Belt, and Ilias Sebaoui.

    NAC Breda

    Feyenoord and NAC Breda will kick off their respective 2025-26 Eredivisie campaigns at De Kuip on Saturday evening.

    Feyenoord finished last season in the top three of the Eredivisie for the fourth consecutive year. However, they experienced a slight decline, losing six games, which is more than the combined total of four losses from the previous two seasons. NAC Breda, making their return to top division football after five years, ended the previous season in third from bottom but successfully maintained their status in the league.

    This match will mark the 103rd meeting between the two clubs in the Eredivisie, with Feyenoord leading the head-to-head record with 63 wins compared to NAC Breda's 15 victories.

    Igor Paixão was Feyenoord's leading scorer last season, netting 16 goals, making him the only player on Robin van Persie's team to reach double figures. For NAC Breda, Elías Már Ómarsson was the top scorer, contributing eight goals, just one goal ahead of Leo Sauer.

    Feyenoord had the third-best home record in the league last season, achieving 13 wins and one draw in 17 matches. In contrast, NAC Breda struggled away from home, managing only nine points through two wins, three draws, and 12 losses across 17 away games.
