In a recent Eredivisie showdown between FC Utrecht and Volendam, football fans witnessed more than just a thrilling match. Each FC Utrecht jersey sported a unique twist, thanks to the creative input of children from the Wilhelmina Children’s Hospital (WKZ).
The young patients from WKZ took an active role in creating and designing the names and numbers adorning the Utrecht jerseys, adding to the players’ attire with heartwarming uniqueness. Following their impressive 4-2 victory over Volendam, FC Utrecht decided to extend the goodwill by auctioning off these special jerseys. All proceeds from the auctions will go directly towards supporting the Wilhelmina Children’s Hospital—a special gesture that showcases the club’s commitment to their community.
Football enthusiasts and memorabilia collectors alike will undoubtedly keep a keen eye out for these one-of-a-kind jerseys, each carrying a truly special story. The match itself was a spectacle, with Utrecht securing a convincing victory, inspired by the stellar performance of star player Taylor Booth, who secured a memorable hat-trick.
As the season progresses, FC Utrecht aims to climb higher in the Dutch Eredivisie rankings, currently positioned in 11th place. With their recent display of generosity and on-field prowess, the team will aim to push forward and make a significant impact in the Eredivisie during the second half of the season.
