The players of Feyenoord sealed a sensational title victory after 18 years to send the fans into a frenzy. The Eredivisie is a league where soccer clubs like Ajax and PSV dominate. But, the Dutch outfit shocked fans to claim the title in 1999. Just like many other clubs, they cannot believe what happened, and the club is celebrating for days.

This move made fans delighted, and many commented on how soccer is turning its approach to taking one out of NBA’s playbook. Therefore, fans took to social media to voice out their opinions. Most of them are in favor of the novel approach. 

Fans react to soccer players getting personalized NBA-like rings

The fan stated, “One of the American traditions that I’d actually quite like to be more mainstream in football I think they’re class.” It is one of the oldest American traditions which the European sport is new to. It could be something for the players to take back home, unlike the trophy. 

Another fan pointed out the same idea. The fan commented, “Ngl I feel like them and medals should both exist cuz they serve different purposes.

The fan stated, “Football teams should have been doing this long ago already… Much better than a winners medal.”
