2026 – Team Eijerkamp's Super Season

23 Oct 2026

Winning never gets old… And that is clearly reflected in the determination and fighting spirit with which Team Eijerkamp continues to challenge the competition, both in the Netherlands and, since the 2026 season, in Belgium as well.

For Team Eijerkamp, a racing weekend is only truly perfect when the name Eijerkamp appears at the very top of the results sheet, preferably against thousands of pigeons.

Of course, that is much easier said than done. Hans, Evert-Jan and everyone involved in Team Eijerkamp know perfectly well that their competitors are not standing still. With the mindset and vision of successful entrepreneurs, they make carefully targeted investments every year to strengthen an already outstanding team.
"Always try to stay one step ahead…" they say in unison. As a visitor, it takes only a few minutes to realise that a carefully considered strategy lies behind this impressive Eijerkamp pigeon empire. Nothing is left to chance. No impulsive decisions are made, and tasks and responsibilities are clearly defined and documented. Hans and Evert-Jan are true masters of "Leading by Example". They generously share their dedication, knowledge and life experience with their team members, ensuring that everyone remains motivated to make the Eijerkamp name famous throughout the world. There are no secrets between them, and everyone receives the full support needed to achieve their goals."One team, same target — united to succeed." To say that the Eijerkamp family starts every racing season with an exceptionally strong team would be an understatement. Their results speak for themselves.

The Belgian Challenge – Project Pulderbos

However, what attracted the most attention from the international pigeon racing community was Team Eijerkamp's ambitious new challenge in Belgium, more specifically in Pulderbos. On 8 July 2025, thanks to their ability to act quickly and decisively, they succeeded in purchasing the house, racing lofts, pigeons and even the guard dog belonging to Antwerp pigeon racing legend André Roodhooft. It was a truly unique deal, and one that meant a great deal to the Eijerkamp family. After all, they had acquired a loft with an extraordinary history: six national victories, Olympiad pigeons, national championship titles and even a KBDB National Ace Pigeon title! An opportunity like this simply could not be missed. The management of "Project Pulderbos" was entrusted to Oliver Sabol, a man who has already proven beyond doubt in Brummen that pigeon racing is in his DNA. Oliver knows exactly how to guide a racing team to the very top of the results sheet. More importantly, he has mastered the art of maintaining outstanding performances at an exceptionally high level throughout an entire racing season. And what followed can only be described as a dream start!

In their very first season, Team Eijerkamp achieved no fewer than TWO FIRST NATIONAL VICTORIES! Just imagine… TWO 1st National victories in their very first season!

Where will this incredible story end?

1st National Argenton (563 km) – Fastest of 37,697 pigeons with "Belgian Dream"
1st National Argenton (563 km) – Fastest of 19,945 pigeons with "Geeloger's Glory"

And that was not all!

The team also achieved the following outstanding results in national races:

1st National Zone Argenton – 4,300 pigeons with "Lady Kannibaal"
1st National Zone Bourges – 3,404 pigeons with "Shyning Kannibaal"
1st National Zone Sancoins – 1,533 pigeons and 2nd National against 9,582 pigeons with "Blauwe Kannibaal"
1st National Zone La Châtre – 1,170 pigeons and 5th National against 7,634 pigeons with "Catherina"
1st National Zone Tours and 7th National against 4,859 pigeons with "Shyning Kannibaal"

It is truly unprecedented in the history of Belgian pigeon racing for a team to achieve such exceptional results in its very first season on Belgian soil.
