Five new “Excelsior Schools” in Rotterdam
S.B.V. Excelsior Rotterdam signed five new contracts to extend its “Excelsior Schools” network. The Dutch football club works together with numerous partner schools and organises various activities in the schools that address a variety of social issues.
The network of Excelsior Schools consists of primary, secondary and special education schools in different areas of Rotterdam. The new partner schools Mavo Schiebroek, Pierre Bayle, Praktijkschool Accent Centrum, Cornelis Haak School and OBS De Waterlelie all have different target groups and are located in different parts of the city but all of them recognise the social power of football and are looking forward to the cooperation with Excelsior Rotterdam.
