Punjab Ghausia Cricket Club Rotterdam becomes Rotterdam Cricket Club

From 2026 onwards, the club will continue under a new name: Rotterdam Cricket Club (RCC).

Punjab Cricket Club was founded in 1991, the club has grown steadily over the years and merged with Ghausia Cricket Club Feyenoord in 2024. What began as a close-knit community has evolved into an ambitious and forward-looking cricket club deeply rooted in Rotterdam.

With its new name, the club embraces a broader and more inclusive identity. Rotterdam Cricket Club welcomes everyone, whether you are discovering cricket for the first time or competing at a high level.

New pitch, floodlights and indoor facilities

The rebranding follows a year of major investments in infrastructure:

• A newly developed modern cricket field.
• Upcoming floodlights, making it one of the very few cricket clubs in the region able to host night games.
• A covered / indoor training facility planned, allowing year-round cricket activities even during colder months.

These developments position Rotterdam Cricket Club as a future-ready sports organisation.

Expanding ambitions

The club’s ambitions extend beyond competitive cricket. Rotterdam Cricket Club aims to become a vibrant hub for sport, culture and events within the city.

In addition to league and youth cricket, the club will offer opportunities such as:

• Venue rental for corporate and community events
• Cricket clinics and company activities
• School programmes and introduction days
• Community tournaments and gatherings

Investing in youth

Youth development remains a core priority. Both boys and girls are encouraged to join and develop their skills in a safe, professional and inspiring environment.

“Our name is changing, but our passion remains the same,” the board states. “We continue to build cricket in Rotterdam.”
