Will Hwang In-beom (29, Feyenoord), the best midfielder in Korea, join the ranks of Korean European big league winners.
The International Football Institute (CIES) predicted on the 10th (local time) that 29 major leagues around the world will win the 2025-2026 season. It is a statistical model that combines sports variables (pass data from opposing camps), economic variables (transfer fees invested in recruiting players), and demographic variables (players' playing time and performance last season) to predict the probability of winning each league.
In Eredivisie, Netherlands, Feyenoord, led by coach Robin van Persie and with Hwang In-beom, ranked first with 29% of the chance of winning. He beat PSV Eindhoven (26%), who is well-known as the defending champion and former team of `Habugi' Park Ji-sung and `Cho Rong' Lee Young-pyo by 3%. Ajax, the traditional strongman, ranked third with 13.8%, and AZ Alkma ranked fourth with 12.7%.

The 'CIES' statistical model expects the fiercest championship race in Eredivisie this season compared to any league. Feyenoord had to be satisfied with winning a ticket to the third qualifying round of the European Champions League, finishing third after Eindhoven and Ajax in 2024-2025, Hwang In-beom's first season as a coach.
Feyenoord, who has won 16 Eredivisie titles in his career, is aiming to win the Netherlands for the first time in three years since the 2022-2023 season. As predicted by 'CIES', if Feyenoord's Hwang In-beom, who leads the Eredivisie in the fourth round of this season with nine points from all three games, wins, he will become the first Korean Eredivisie winner in 21 years after Park Ji-sung Lee Young-pyo (PSV) won together in 2005.
Hwang In-beom, who received direct attention from English Premier League club Fulham in the transfer market last summer, can lay the groundwork for advancing to the four major leagues by winning the Eredivisie. The key is to make the best physical condition first. Hwang In-beom has repeatedly played and rehabilitated due to calf problems since December last year. Ahead of the two consecutive A matches in September, he was dropped due to recurrence of calf pain. Hwang In-beom, who changed his uniform number from No. 4 to No. 6 this season, has been playing in three games since the opening of the season, including the Cup. I'm looking for my return in September.

According to this prediction model, a large number of Korean European players are expected to deliver the news of the championship from May to June next year. Kim Min-jae's team Bayern Munich was expected to win the German Bundesliga with a 61.4 percent chance. Lee Kang-in's team Paris Saint-Germain, which shines on the treble last season, has a 73.0% chance of winning, higher than Munich.
Serbia's Tsurvena Zvezda, who has a higher chance of winning than Paris Saint-Germain, is 76.2%. Zvezda is a team of national college fullback Seol Young-woo.
In the English Premier League, which is considered the world's best league, Liverpool is expected to win its second consecutive title with a 28.9% chance. He beat Arsenal (18.8 percent) and Chelsea (16.2 percent). In Spain's Primera Liga, Real Madrid is expected to win back the title by beating rival Barcelona (29.6%) with a 40.6% chance.
In Italy's Serie A, Inter Milan ranked first with a 25.6% chance of winning, and in the Saudi professional league, Al Nasr, with Cristiano Ronaldo at the forefront, is expected to win with a 33.2% chance. Meat Willan, who has Cho Kyu-sung and Lee Han-beom, ranked fourth in the Danish Super Liga (5.6%), and Genk, where national striker Oh Hyun-kyu is active, ranked third in the Belgian professional league (16.2%).
