Heerenveen plays final pre-season friendly before Eredivisie kickoff
SC Heerenveen will play the Simmer Cup against Volos NFC at the Abe Lenstra Stadion this Saturday. The match starts at 15:00 and is the final pre-season friendly before the new Eredivisie season begins. Season ticket holders have free access but must claim their ticket. Single tickets are also still available.
What is the Simmer Cup?
The Simmer Cup is an annual friendly match that Heerenveen plays against an international opponent. This year, it's the Greek club Volos NFC. The match is an important test for Heerenveen before the Eredivisie kicks off on August 2. The team finished last season in 8th place with 44 points (12W-8D-10L) and a goal difference of 53-50 (+3).
Why is this match important?
The Simmer Cup is the last chance for Heerenveen to prepare for the new season. Coach Hansma has indicated that he wants to use the match to test the final adjustments to the team. The match is also a good opportunity for the new signings to introduce themselves. Heerenveen will play their first official match of the new season on January 31, 2027, against Ajax, who finished 5th last season.
How can you buy tickets?
Tickets for the Simmer Cup are still available via the official SC Heerenveen website. Season ticket holders must claim their free ticket via their account. Volunteers who have received a season ticket from the club and season ticket holders in the stavak do not need to claim their free ticket. Single tickets can be purchased via the ticket sales on the website.
