Like Atletico Madrid and Fiorentina, Eredivisie club Feyenoord too forayed into the Indian waters with the inaugural season of the Indian Super League. Then Den Network's CMD Sameer Manchanda announced the same through a press conference and believed that the historic tie-up could guide India to FIFA World Cup's qualification!

The Dutch club helped the Delhi Dynamos in signing regular Eredivisie players Stijn Houber, Hans Mulder, Mads Junker, and Morten Skoubo in addition to bringing a Dutch influence to the technical and coaching staff. All these players and the coaching staff played a key role in Delhi Dynamos finishing fifth in the points table. Moreover, their holding possession style of play ensured they only lost four matches in the inaugural ISL season.

Both the clubs disbanded their partnership after the season got over, with reasons best known to them.
