FC Volendam is the new leader of the Eredivisie Fair Play Ranking. The number 14 in the Eredivisie passes FC Groningen (leaders last month) with a score of 12.5 points, followed by the Groningers (12.4) and Excelsior Rotterdam (12.2).
In this ranking, determined on the basis of objective match data, coach Wim Jonk's team scores highly due to a combination of relatively few fouls (298) and few cards (40 in total). Last season, PSV was the first club to be honoured with a Fair Play Award at the Eredivisie Awards. This award is presented annually in partnership with ESPN and Holland Casino, a responsible betting partner of Dutch professional football.
