The Netherlands has three top football clubs, Ajax Amsterdam, Feyenoord Rotterdam and PSV Eindhoven.
Feyenoord was founded in 1912 and has been playing its home games in stadium de Kuip since 1937. The stadium houses a museum where you can watch during a guided tour.
The 70s were for Feijenoord the most successful years in its history.
In 1970, Feijenoord became the first Dutch club to win the European Cup I. This Cup is also called the Cup with the big Ears. When you see the picture we took in the museum you'll agree that is correct. In the final game the Scottish champion Celtic was defeated in Milan.
A few months later, the World Cup followed, allowing the club to call itself the best football club in the world.
Feijenoord then defeated the champion of South America the Argentine Estudiantes de la Plata over two games (2-2, 1-0).
Very special things are exhibited in the museum. The most special item is a stuffed seagull. This is the seagull that keeper Eddy Treijtel shot out of the air, when taking a kick out.

Visit Instructions:
Please take a photo of the award and describe your experience. If it is particularly large trophy or cup include a photo with yourself for scale.
Special note regarding schools: Public secondary schools are public places, and they often include public displays of trophies, medals and cups; however, security concerns might make it difficult to visit these locations at certain times. The best time to visit is probably during an athletic competition. The trophy case is very often adjacent to the gymnasium, and it would be very easy to photograph the trophies at such times. Alternately, you may visit during the school day. Respect school policy and sign in at the office as appropriate. You might explain that you heard that there was a national championship trophy on display somewhere in the school and you would like to photograph it. The secretary will likely direct you down the correct hallway, pleased as punch that people still care about that old championship.
