Innovation partner shapes the club's digital future

ALMERE/AMSTELVEEN 01.10.2026 — Almere City FC and ve2ventures have agreed to extend their partnership to the end of the 2029/30 season. Following a successful first year together, both sides are stepping up their ambitions: ve2ventures continues as the club's official innovation partner, helping Almere City FC bring its plans to life.

Over the past twelve months, the two organisations have worked closely on ClubOS, a platform that supports and strengthens the club's entire operation with built-in intelligence. From day-to-day administration to data-driven insight for staff and players, ClubOS is designed to help the club work smarter at every level. The first season laid the groundwork, and the years ahead will see both sides develop that vision much further.

At the heart of the partnership is a commitment to building and rolling out technology together, right across the club. Everything hinges on developing digital solutions side by side. The ve2ventures team works directly with the club's staff, players and management, standing shoulder to shoulder with the very people who use the products. For both sides, that openness is what drives a shared, long-term vision.

"This is a strong endorsement of us and of the relationship we've built with Almere City FC," says Kevin Klomp, co-founder of ve2ventures. "Over the coming years, we can build innovative solutions that have the potential to raise the standard of football in the Netherlands. It's a real opportunity for both sides."

David Dwinger, co-founder and CEO of ve2ventures, adds: "The access the club gives us is invaluable when it comes to building solutions that genuinely work. It says a great deal about their mindset, and it's a perfect fit with who we are as a company."

John Bes, Managing Director of Almere City FC, is equally confident about the partnership. “We have experienced the collaboration positively over the past season. Our respective visions for the future of football are perfectly aligned, allowing us to strengthen each other in achieving our ambitions.”
