FC Groningen onder-13 beleeft onvergetelijk weekend - FC Groningen

FC Groningen onder-13 beleeft onvergetelijk weekend.

Woensdag 17 september 2025 om 14:28

FC Groningen onder-13 nam in het weekend van 13 en 14 september deel aan de Virgil’s Legacy Trophy. Verschillende topteams uit heel Europa deden mee aan het toernooi in Tilburg, georganiseerd door Virgil van Dijk en Willem II. Uiteraard had de verdediger van Liverpool ook een uitnodiging gestuurd naar zijn voormalige club uit het Noorden van Nederland en ging FC Groningen graag in op deze invitatie.  

Wekenlang keken de jongens van de Trots van het Noorden uit naar de Virgil’s Legacy Trophy. Het ontmoeten van hun grote idool en spelen tegen teams die ze normaal alleen op de spelcomputer tegenkomen is een droom die uitkomt. Het zorgde voor de nodige spanning, maar vooral voor een gevoel van trots merkte trainer Wisse Nomden: “Ik merkte dat ze er echt zin in hadden, maar dat ze ook wel een bepaalde spanning hadden.”

Internationale tegenstanders 
De onder-13 van FC Groningen zat in de poule bij Inter, Arsenal en Feyenoord. Voor de jonge spelers was dit meer dan alleen een paar wedstrijden voetballen, het was een kennismaking met andere voetbalculturen. “In Italië en Engeland kijken ze net weer even anders naar voetbal dan hier. Voor de spelers was die andere spelopvatting interessant en leerzaam. De echte wil om te winnen bij de Italiaanse tegenstander was ook iets dat opviel.” 

Ze zagen van dichtbij hoe buitenlandse teams het spelletje zien en beleven, op een manier zoals de jongens hier in Nederland niet gewend zijn. Ook de betrokkenheid van trainers en supporters maakten indruk op zowel de spelers als de staf en is een ervaring die hen nog lang bij zal blijven.  “Als je ziet wat voor staf er bij een PSG of AC Milan rondloopt, dan zijn zij gewoon met 12 man,” merkte Nomden op.

Slapen in gastgezinnen 
De spelers van de FC verbleven tijdens het toernooi in gastgezinnen, thuis bij leeftijdsgenoten van Willem II. Veel spelers hadden via sociale media al contact gelegd met hun gastgezin, wat ervoor zorgde dat hun banden tijdens het weekend al snel groeiden. “De verhalen die wij hebben teruggekregen vanuit de gastgezinnen zijn dat de jongens zich heel netjes, beleefd en sociaal hebben gedragen.”  

Voor de staf was het dan ook mooi om te zien dat hun spelers zich op het veld, maar ook daarbuiten zouden gedragen. “Je bent ergens te gast en vertegenwoordigt als speler van FC Groningen onder-13 op dat moment de club.”  

Ontmoeting met Virgil van Dijk 
Voor velen kwam het hoogtepunt al op de vrijdagavond, de ontmoeting met hun idool Virgil van Dijk. Samen met straatvoetballer Soufiane Touzani nam de aanvoerder van Oranje de tijd voor foto’s en een Q&A met de jeugdspelers. Voor de spelers een onvergetelijk moment. “Het is alsof ik in een droom leef, het is echt niet normaal, Touzani en Virgil,” vertelde een van de jongens aan de trainer. Nomden: “Het was mooi te zien dat hij zo benaderbaar was voor de spelers. Ook daar zit weer een goede les wat betreft voorbeeldgedrag in.” 

Ervaring voor het leven 
De Virgil’s Legacy Trophy leverde de spelers dus veel meer op dan alleen een voetbalervaring. Het was een weekend waarin zij nieuwe culturen leerden kennen, zelfstandig leerden worden in gastgezinnen en hun grootste idolen konden ontmoeten. Zoals trainer Nomden omschreef: “Een beker kan je afpakken, maar wat deze jongens hebben meegemaakt pakt niemand ze meer af.” (Foto’s: Noah Schurink)
