FC Volendam passed the 2 September 2026 transfer deadline without any new signings, with the departure of Daniël Beukers being the final piece of business. Technical manager Patrick Busby confirmed to NH Nieuws that the club would not bring in any new players after the 23:59 closure, after which the stadium lights were turned off.
The Volendam-based team currently sits tenth in the Eerste Divisie with six points from four matches. They have scored eleven goals and conceded five, giving them a goal difference of plus six. The next challenge is an away fixture against ninth-placed NAC Breda on 6 December 2026.
Who is the departing Daniël Beukers?
Daniël Beukers is a 22-year-old player whose contract with FC Volendam ran until mid-2027. He returned to IJsselmeervogels on deadline day, the club he played for earlier in his career. His career began at Spakenburg before he made the move to AZ in 2018.
At AZ, Beukers impressed in the youth setup. He was part of the team that won the Youth League in 2023. In the semi-final against Real Madrid, he scored twice in a 4-0 victory. In total, he made 55 appearances for AZ's first team. His departure marks the definitive end of FC Volendam's transfer activity this summer.
What is FC Volendam's current situation?
With the squad as it now stands, FC Volendam heads into the coming months of the league season. The club is six points behind leaders Heracles. Their recent form has been mixed, with a pattern of win-loss in the last four games. Fans can view the full squad on our squad page.
The past transfer window was relatively quiet for the club. The only outgoing move was therefore that of Beukers. Technical manager Patrick Busby stood firm and refrained from last-minute actions. The focus is now entirely on on-pitch performances.
What are the club's immediate plans?
The immediate planning revolves around preparation for the away match against NAC Breda. That match takes place on 6 December. All upcoming fixtures can be found on our fixtures page. The current league standings can always be followed via the standings page.
Peter Hofstede, a club spokesman, had previously indicated that "Ar'jany is a player who has already gained a lot of experience at a good level". The club is relying on the current group of players to achieve this season's objectives. Daniël Beukers' contract with IJsselmeervogels took effect immediately.
