Joey Kooij Officiates Feyenoord at Fortuna Sittard on 3 May

feyenoord played Fortuna Sittard away on 3 May 2025 in speelronde 32 of the VriendenLoterij Eredivisie, with Joey Kooij in charge at the Fortuna Sittard Stadion. The match kicked off at 14:30 and gave both clubs a fixed league appointment on a day built around the same venue, referee, and broadcast plan.

For followers tracking the fixture before the first whistle, the practical details were set: 3 carried the match live, and Rijnmond covered it on radio. That left the focus on the lineups, which already showed how each side would start the afternoon.

Fortuna Sittard’s opening XI

Fortuna Sittard named Branderhorst in goal, with Kasanwirjo, Marquez, Hubner, Dahlhaus, Van Ottele, and Brittijn across the defensive and midfield lines. Ihattaren, Duijvestijn, and Limnios supported Sierhuis up front, while Koopmans, Martens, Gladon, Halilovic, Johnson, Gbemou, Oukili, Peterson, and Schenkhuizen were listed on the bench.

That setup gave Fortuna a clear starting shape before kickoff. Branderhorst’s presence in goal anchored a lineup that mixed defensive cover with several attack-minded options among the substitutes.

Feyenoord names Wellenreuther

Feyenoord started Wellenreuther behind Deijl, Trauner, Watanabe, and Bos, with Targhalline, Kraaijeveld, and Valente in midfield. Hadj Moussa, Ueda, and Van den Elshout led the line, and the bench included Benda, Bossin, St. Juste, Read, Lotomba, Grootfaam, Sterling, Diarra, Sliti, and Tengstedt.

That selection mattered because it set the available options for the match from the first minute. Joey Kooij had the full fixture on his whistle, but the lineups already defined the shape of the contest before the teams stepped out at the Fortuna Sittard Stadion.

This was a round 32 league date, not a loose exhibition or an open-ended setup. With the venue, referee, kickoff time, and live coverage all fixed, the only missing piece was what Feyenoord and Fortuna Sittard would produce once the ball started moving.
