Four of the winners from the online qualifiers along with the 18 Eredivisie clubs who will be represented in the tournament will fight for the championship and win a total prize pool of €2,000. The winner will also have a spot in the pre-selection of E_Oranje, the Netherlands’ national e-football team, and a traineeship or visit to their favourite KPN eDivisie club.
