Feyenoord Rotterdam is a Dutch football club from the city of Rotterdam. It was previously named Feijenoord, after the Feijenoord district of south Rotterdam, but the club internationalised its name in 1973. The club was founded on July 19, 1908.

Their motto is: Geen Woorden Maar Daden ("No words but deeds"), a good motto as Feyenoord Rotterdam was founded by hard working labourers from the harbours in the Feijenoord district in Rotterdam-South.
Their stadium song is I Will Survive, the tune is played every time Feyenoord Rotterdam scores at home. Feyenoord home games are known for the incredible atmosphere, probably the best of all the Dutch clubs.
