Feyenoord will face Zwolle at the Sportpark Smitshoek on Saturday in a friendly clash between the two teams.
De Stadionclub enjoyed a brilliant campaign last season as they secured their first Eredivisie title since the 2016-17 campaign to record a 16th league triumph. They picked up 82 points from 34 games, equalling their highest-ever points tally in the Dutch top flight as they clinched a return to the UEFA Champions League group stages.
Following the conclusion of a successful campaign, head coach Arne Slot was highly linked with a move to Tottenham Hotspur but later extended his stay at Feyenoord by signing a new contract. He will lead the side's first pre-season game this weekend.
Zwolle were relegated from the Eredivisie in the 2021-22 campaign for the first time in a decade but have now secured an immediate return to the Dutch top-flight. They finished second in the Eerste Divisie last season with 85 points from 38 games.
