FC Utrecht and ROC Midden Nederland believe in the power of sport and education as binding elements in society. Their joint ambition is to contribute to Utrecht’s pursuit of ‘Healthy urban living for everyone’. FC Utrecht positions itself as the physical and emotional heart of ‘Utrecht in motion’, while ROC Midden Nederland strives to be the ROC for positive health, vitality and a healthy lifestyle. The presence of the Sports College in Galgenwaard Stadium underlines this ambition and offers students the opportunity to study and work in a unique top sports environment.
The collaboration between FC Utrecht and ROC Midden Nederland focuses on various areas, including creating fit associations and neighborhoods, promoting vitality on and around Sportcampus Traiectum, and involving students in the FC Utrecht project in de Wijk in Overvecht. By actively involving students in social projects and offering internships, both organizations contribute to a more vital Utrecht.
In addition, numerous students from ROC Midden Nederland are active at FC Utrecht, both at the office and at Sportcomplex Zoudenbalch, or through the club’s extensive network, including Partner clubs, partners and Traiectum clubs, where they follow valuable internships. The use of the mobile vitality lab in the region in neighborhood projects offers a practical way for students from ROC Midden Nederland to bring a broad view of health closer to people. In addition, there is close cooperation with Sportcampus Traiectum, where students are deployed for various tasks. These initiatives not only emphasize the joint commitment of both organizations for a more vital Utrecht, but also draw attention to the physical location of the sports campus within ROC Midden Nederland, which further anchors the bond between education and sports.
The renewed collaboration marks an important milestone in the joint efforts of FC Utrecht and ROC Midden Nederland to strengthen the city and region in the field of health and vitality.
