Unfortunately, the campaign was curtailed by the COVID-19 pandemic.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eThe season\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eRKC had won promotion from the Eerste Divisie in 2018\/19, returning to the Eredivisie for the first time since relegation in 2013\/14. Fred Grim remained manager for their return to the top division.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTheir Eredivisie campaign began badly. They lost their opening two matches — 3–1 away to VVV-Venlo and 2–0 at home to AZ Alkmaar — before picking up their first point with a 3–3 draw at FC Twente.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRKC ultimately played 26 of the scheduled 34 league matches before the Eredivisie was abandoned in April 2020 because of the coronavirus pandemic. They finished officially in 18th place, with 15 points, from four wins, three draws and 19 defeats.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause the Dutch season was declared void with no promotion or relegation, RKC nevertheless remained in the Eredivisie for 2020\/21.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey players\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eEtienne Vaessen — goalkeeper\u003cbr\u003eThe 24-year-old was RKC's first-choice goalkeeper and started 24 of their 26 league matches, playing 2,111 minutes. He was one of the most important regulars in the side.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHannes Delcroix — centre-back\u003cbr\u003eThe young Belgian defender, on loan from Anderlecht, was a major part of the defence. He started 23 matches, playing 2,057 minutes, and scored once.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eClint Leemans — midfielder\u003cbr\u003eOne of the team's most productive players. He scored 4 goals and provided 3 assists in 21 league appearances. He was also RKC's joint-leading scorer.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStijn Spierings — midfielder\u003cbr\u003eA key central midfielder who made 17 starts and contributed 3 goals and 3 assists.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDaan Rienstra — midfielder\/captain\u003cbr\u003eAn important experienced presence and the team's captain in the early part of the campaign. He started 20 matches.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnas Tahiri — midfielder\/forward\u003cbr\u003eA versatile attacking midfielder who made 23 appearances, including 14 starts, and supplied 3 assists.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSylla Sow — forward\u003cbr\u003eOne of RKC's main attacking threats. He scored 5 league goals, making him the team's leading scorer, ahead of Clint Leemans on 4.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eThe RKC Waalwijk 2019\/20 Stanno Away Shirt – Player\/Team Issue\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNavy blue and orange Stanno away shirt worn by RKC Waalwijk during the 2019\/20 Eredivisie season, featuring the Willy Naessens Industriebouw sponsor and the club's “Strijd • Passie • Trots” neck detail. The shirt retains its original Stanno size L but is actually a M measure and Made in China manufacturing labels but does not carry a conventional retail product\/article code. It was acquired as a player\/team-issue shirt.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThat “STRIJD • PASSIE • TROTS” deliberately constructed blue neck tape is particularly significant. It isn't generic Stanno branding; it is RKC's club motto. RKC itself currently describes “Strijd, Passie en Trots” as part of the club identity, and contemporary 2019\/20 material also identifies this as RKC's motto.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eThe official shirt\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is the 2019\/20 Stanno Away Shirt.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cfigure class=\"mv-official-shirt\" style=\"margin:16px 0 0;max-width:300px;\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1075\/0767\/9562\/files\/mv-off-ls602.jpg\" alt=\"Official 2019\/20 Stanno Away shirt\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"display:block;width:100%;max-width:300px;height:auto;\"\u003e\u003c\/figure\u003e","brand":"Stanno","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":63615727173962,"sku":"LS602","price":69.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1075\/0767\/9562\/files\/nb10-ls602-1-front.jpg?v=1789929679","url":"https:\/\/matchdayvault.net\/products\/2019-20-rkc-waalwijk-away-shirt-m-stanno","provider":"Matchday Vault","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
