Over a period of 65 years, a total of 54 former and current clubs from 34 cities have made the Eredivisie what it is today. There have been countless great moments, many heroes, memories, brilliant stories, and the Eredivisie is still going strong today, for young and old alike. This is exactly why the Eredivisie wants to show exactly what the Eredivisie means to the Netherlands at about 250 locations, from Leeuwarden to Maastricht and from The Hague to Enschede.

Visitors can take a trip by city to the stadiums, statues, pubs, squares, birth houses and other special spots for the clubs at Eredivisie.nl/ontdek. All of it comes with fun facts, anecdotes and images. These places only really come to life when you visit them in person, however. Anyone can use their mobile phone to map out a route that will take them past the sites of their favourite club. Each spot has a unique pennant attached to it, which can be redeemed when you pay it a visit. Visitors who have visited all the spots of their favourite club stand a chance to win great prizes.
