FC Den Bosch reshape squad before opening-day draw
A series of confirmed arrivals and departures preceded a level start to the club’s 2026/27 campaign at De Vliert.
FC Den Bosch have begun the 2026/27 season with a draw after an active summer of squad changes. The club’s official website described a celebratory atmosphere at De Vliert for the opening fixture on 8 August, although the supplied report did not provide the final score or identify the opponent.
Several players arrived earlier in the summer. FC Den Bosch announced midfielders Hessel Eikelboom and Silvan Bröker on 5 June, alongside defender Jasper van Heertum. Lorenzo Hoffman followed later that month, while Devon De Corte joined from Anderlecht in early July. The club also confirmed that Bohao Wang would remain at De Vliert for another season and added academy prospect Kai de Rooij at the end of July.
There were notable departures as well. Teun van Grunsven completed a move to South Korea, while Luc van Koeverden and Zaid el Bakkali left for Pro Vercelli. Nick de Groot subsequently transferred to Fortuna Sittard. Away from the playing squad, goalkeeper coach Colin van der Meijden was appointed to complete the technical staff. The changes left Den Bosch with a reshaped group heading into the new campaign, which started with a point in front of their home support.
