Feyenoord’s Hwang In-beom, who showed outstanding performance in his debut match in the Dutch professional football Eredevisi, has been nominated as a candidate for Player of the Week.

Hwang In-beom was included as a candidate for the 6th round player of the 2024-2025 season Dutch Eredivisie on the 24th (Korean time).

Nine candidates were named, including Hwang In-beom, Davy Klaassen (Ajax), Malik Tillman (PSV), and Ibrahim Sadiq (AZ).

Feyenoord won 2-0 in the 6th round home match against NAC Breda held at the Feyenoord Stadium in Rotterdam, Netherlands on the 22nd, and Hwang In-beom contributed by playing the full 90 minutes.

Hwang In-beom, who started as a central midfielder, fulfilled his role as a link between offense and defense.

He recorded 82% pass success rate (53 out of 65 attempts), 3 key passes and 4 shots.

Defensive indicators were also notable, such as a 63% ground duel success rate (5 out of 8), 3 blocks, 2 interceptions, and 3 tackles.

Football statistics site ‘Footmob’ gave Hwang In-beom a rating of 8.3, and he enjoyed the double honor of being nominated for Player of the Week right after his debut.

On the 3rd, Feyenoord made a surprise announcement that they had acquired Hwang In-beom, who won the Serbian Superliga with Crvena Zvezda.

Hwang In-beom, who was given the number 4 jersey, said, “This is the biggest club I’ve ever played for,” and expressed his determination, saying, “I want to stay here for a long time.”

His first appearance since joining the team was a home match against Bayer Leverkusen of the German professional football league Bundesliga in the first leg of the UEFA Champions League (UCL) league phase.

Although the game ended in a complete defeat, Hwang In-beom impressed his teammates with his brilliant play.

He then put on a great performance in his league debut against Breda and was nominated as a Player of the Week.

Hwang In-beom will attempt to continue his winning streak in the away match against NEC Nijmegen in the 7th round of the league on the 29th.
