Overview
- Shareholders of Stadion Feijenoord approved a statutory change on June 11 that let Feyenoord buy 80,635 newly issued shares for nearly €3.7 million and secure a majority holding.
- The purchase money is available immediately for maintenance and Feyenoord committed to invest €3–5 million a year for ten years in addition to the current annual rent of around €5 million.
- De Kuip will remain a separate legal and fiscal entity for now with the stadium treated as a Feyenoord subsidiary, and Feyenoord is contractually barred from selling the shares for three years.
- Club and stadium officials said the deal addresses years of deferred repairs — including piping and cabling work — that had threatened regulatory approval from the KNVB and UEFA.
- The agreement follows negotiated protections for shareholders and supporters, including reserved-seat guarantees and valuation rules, and leaves long‑term renovation plans under active review.
