The number of Dutch players who venture across Europe continues to increase this season. One of them is Joas van Nek, a 22-year-old striker who started at Wormer's WSV, and is now more recognized after his move from ADO ’20 out to Tre Fiori—the reigning national champion of San Marino. Unlike more famous names such as Tottenham Hotspur's Micky van de Ven, van Nek is quietly making a name for himself in European football. He recently made his debut for Tre Fiori in the qualifying rounds of the UEFA Conference League. This shows that it is not only the top leagues where the talent of Dutch football is heading, but also the smaller leagues in Europe are looking for luck and experience.

Before arriving in San Marino, van Nek went through various youth clubs in Noord-Holland. Here he first learned the discipline and tactical awareness needed to succeed in senior football. He even remembered those who were allies and rivals, such as Micky van de Ven's uncle's son and former De Volewijckers teammate Younes Taha. His former U-19 coach Marcel Liesdek played a big role, opening the door for the possibility of experiencing Cyprus in 2022. van Nek's journey reflects the hard work of many young football players from the Netherlands who are not afraid to try their luck in another league. Besides bringing talent from their country, they are also learning to adapt to a different style of football, climate, and culture—similar to van Nek's experiment in San Marino. Although Dutch football has a big name as an exporter of great players in the Premier League, La Liga or Serie A, the story of Joas van Nek and many others reminds that every step and test is also important, even for smaller teams and countries. In the end, the goal of these young people, like van Nek, is to see a star that will elevate their professional career and can be an inspiration to young people here in the Philippines who dream of becoming a pro in Europe.

What's next

van Nek is expected to continue his development at Tre Fiori, where he can gain more experience in international competition. His performance in the Conference League could open the door for other opportunities at a higher level of football, while continuing to strengthen his reputation in Dutch football.
