Veerle Buurman has opened her own Cruyff Court in Eindhoven. The field is located on the Groenewoudseweg in Woensel. The nineteen-year-old central defender was voted Johan Cruijff Talent of the Year last season, earning her this honor.
Veerle knew immediately that her pitch had to be in Eindhoven. "It's fantastic to be able to open my own Cruyff Court. That's really a huge honor. The fact that this field is in Eindhoven, right between De Herdgang, the Philips Stadium and the place where I lived, makes it extra special. Of course, I played two fantastic years at PSV. It is the club where I went through an enormous development and the place where my talent was seen. That has brought me where I am now: at Chelsea and at Orange! I wish all children lots of fun playing on this new pitch."
Veerle made her debut for PSV Women at the age of seventeen. She grew to become a fixed value in the defense and an international of Oranje. She played a total of forty games in the red and white, before making the move to Chelsea last summer.
