FC Volendam, H20 Esports Campus and Bundled Esports have had their eye on Max Koelemaij in their search for a suitable esporter for the Volendammers. The 19-year-old from Utrecht will represent the Volendammers during the 2025-2026 eDivision season.
Koelemaij is delighted to represent FC Volendam: "When I was told through management, Bundled, that FC Volendam was coming as an option, I got excited right away. Also because of the cooperation with H20, with whom I have worked before." The Utrechter is no stranger to the esports world: "I have been an esporter for over four seasons. Two seasons ago I achieved ninth place at the World Cup and last season I was crowned regular season eDivision champion with FC Utrecht." In any case, Koelemaij has no lack of ambition: "I hope to finish first in the Finals with FC Volendam - so not just in the regular season, but to become a true Dutch champion."
"We have been watching his performance with interest for quite some time," he said.
"FC Volendam is proud to welcome Max as the club's new esporter" begins Nino Sneek, employee Commercial at FC Volendam. "We have been watching his performances with FC Utrecht in the eDivisie and at the World Cup with interest for quite some time, where he showed he has a lot of talent and dedication." Sneek continued: "With his arrival we take a nice step in the further development of our esports branch. We are looking forward to a successful season and a pleasant cooperation with Max."
Matthijs Vink, owner of H20, also reacts happily to the appointment of Koelemaij: "Attracting Max fits the core values of H20. We want to offer young talent the chance to become the best. H20 has a background in top sport and from our ambition we want to help develop talent towards the top."
Vink is also happy with the cooperation with Bundled: "We have a lot of respect and appreciation for what Bundled has achieved in the esports world in recent years. In addition, we believe that you get further together. The combination of FC Volendam, Bundled and H20 should ensure that Max can perform optimally. We look forward to this eDivision season and also organize fun activations for and in the region."
