Since 2023, Knapman has been the official supplier of compression clothing for FC Volendam. Twice a year, Knapman visits the Kras Stadium to introduce both new and existing players to the benefits of compression clothing, from injury prevention to faster recovery.
Players and staff of FC Volendam have been using Knapman products since 2018. This close and intensive collaboration became official in 2023, when Knapman was appointed as the club’s official supplier of compression clothing.

At the start of the new season, Knapman presented its latest innovation: the Knapman PRO compression shorts. Players received an explanation of the unique technology behind the product and were able to experience the shorts firsthand, both on the pitch and in the gym.

Jelmer Stiekema | Head of Performance at FC Volendam, on the collaboration with Knapman:
"Thanks to our partnership with Knapman, we are able to provide our players with additional support in injury prevention and recovery.
By wearing the compression clothing, players clearly experience less muscle soreness, fewer injuries, and recover faster after training sessions and matches''
Fitting sessions
Knapman regularly visits football clubs to offer fitting sessions. During these sessions, players and staff have the opportunity to try on the compression clothing, experience its effects, and ask questions. We also explain how the clothing contributes to injury prevention and faster recovery.
