Kevin Felida #22

Profile

Regarded as a huge prospect at second-tier side FC Den Bosch, for whom he made more than 130 appearances before earning a transfer to RKC in the Eredivisie. However, the defensive midfielder did not break through there and returned to his former club. A ball-winning player with great stamina, he has been dubbed the “Bossche N’Golo Kanté”. One of his best friends in football is the Manchester United forward Joshua Zirkzee. Both grew up in Spijkenisse and spent a lot of time together, but at and outside school. Just after Zirkzee had made his debut for Bayern Munich in December 2019, the two would meet up during the Christmas break to go for runs in the evenings. Felida made his debut for Curaçao in 2021 after receiving a call from then-head coach Guus Hiddink and eventually earned his first cap under Patrick Kluivert.
