Final Day of the Cruyff Street League

Will you come watch on Dam Square? On Saturday, July 5th, it’s finally happening: the big final day of the Cruyff Street League! And it’s taking place on Dam Square. The best street football teams of Amsterdam — boys and girls aged 10 to 15 — will compete for the coveted ‘Cruyff Street League Trophy’. It will be a spirited battle between all city districts, full of pride, energy, and respect. But even if you're not playing, you’ll enjoy a day full of music, shows, and fun. The program starts at 9:00 AM and runs until 6:00 PM.

Thrilling matches between top teams from across the city
Live performance by singer Noud with Dutch-language songs
Football clinics by a well-known football influencer
Dance shows and a CPR workshop from the Nouri Foundation
Music, action, and fun around the main stage
And of course, the big award ceremonies

Each team will play 3 to 5 matches of 10 minutes on a real street football pitch, right on the cobblestones of Dam Square.

Special Football Shirts

Together with Nike and Voetbalshop, Studio Wesseling (under the name ‘Blood in Blood’) designed the “Pride of the City” shirt. Each of the 8 city districts has its own unique design. MBO students from ROC Amsterdam North contributed to the project. All finalists will play on July 5th wearing the shirt of their district.
