Feyenoord Rotterdam is a Dutch football club from the city of Rotterdam. It was previously named Feijenoord, after the Feijenoord district of south Rotterdam, but the club internationalised its name in 1973. The club was founded on July 19, 1908.
The club's Feijenoord Stadion, located in the district with the same name, is nicknamed De Kuip, Dutch for The Tub. It was built in 1937, and is one of the major European stadiums. It has 50,000 seats and has hosted a record of 10 finals of UEFA club competitions, including the 2002 UEFA Cup Final which was won by Feyenoord. The average attendance in 2004/05 was 45,288 people.
There are two other professional football teams from Rotterdam, namely Sparta and Excelsior. All three currently play in the top Dutch league, the Eredivisie. Together with Ajax and PSV, Feyenoord is generally regarded as one of the "big three" clubs in the Netherlands.
