Overview
- Feyenoord beat Belgian Charleroi 3-1 after trailing early, with Gaoussou Diarra, Mats Deijl and Tijme Wessels scoring the goals.
- The match continued a preseason pattern of late comebacks and marked the club’s third win in the current preparation following wins over FC Dordrecht and Club Brugge.
- Liam Bossin started in goal because Timon Wellenreuther has left and new signing Tjark Ernst had not yet joined the squad, leaving the club in temporary goalkeeper cover.
- New defender Mika Mármol was used at left-back due to injuries to Gijs Smal and Jordan Bos, and coach Giovanni van Bronckhorst rotated almost the entire team with multiple substitutions to assess fitness.
- Feyenoord will head to a training camp in Belgium and play further friendlies against Rayo Vallecano and Atalanta as the coaching staff finalizes options ahead of the Eredivisie season.
