Yesterday, Feyenoord became Premier League Champions (Dutch: Eredivisie) for the 15th time in its history. It took them a whopping 18 years to achieve this feat again. Yesterday, the city exploded with euphoric happiness. Grown men crying, complete strangers falling into each other's arms. Today was the official honouring on the balcony of City Hall in front of close to 200,000 fans.
Close to that building is a huge fountain that is the centre of all festivities.

Feyenoord is a blue-collar football club and the fans are the most loyal on the planet. One of our best documentary makers followed some fans during the four weeks that led to the championship and one of them (gravely ill) did not make it. They eat, drink and breathe Feyenoord. To many it's all they have. One couple never leaves the country during their vacations (they stay in a 2-hours drive radius from the stadium) because they want to visit every home match.
