Feyenoord, founded in 1908, remain one of the established Dutch names, based at Stadion Feijenoord and carrying the scale expected of a club with that standing. Their 2025-26 squad was large – 52 players – and notably young, with an average age of 24.
Their attacking output was the clearest feature of the campaign. At home they averaged 2.3 goals per match while conceding 1.4, giving them a consistent edge in Rotterdam. Away from home they still carried a decent threat, averaging 1.8 scored and 1.2 conceded.
Ayase Ueda was the main finisher with 26 goals, well ahead of Anis Hadj Moussa on 14. Sem Steijn added seven, with Casper Tengstedt and Tsuyoshi Watanabe both contributing five. They were not always fast starters, scoring inside the first 20 minutes in five of 16 league matches, but the goal spread was enough to keep them productive.
Feyenoord closed their league programme unbeaten across six matches, with three wins and three draws. The run included a 2-0 away win at PEC Zwolle, a 2-1 win at Fortuna Sittard and a 3-1 home win over FC Groningen, alongside draws with AZ, NEC Nijmegen and FC Volendam.
For Celtic supporters, Feyenoord profile as a young, deep squad with reliable attacking numbers and a home ground where they were particularly effective. They are a neutral opponent, but not a lightweight one.
