Verga became national champion twice with Amsterdam, in 2011 and 2012. He also played 193 times for the Dutch team. He competed at two Olympic Games, with a silver medal in 2012 and a 4th place in 2016.
“Next Sunday, Verga will play his last home game at the Wagener Stadium, a moment that will certainly be emotional for him and the fans,” says Marc Staal, chairman of AH&BC. “His dedication and passion for the game have made him an AH&BC legend, and we are forever grateful for his contributions to our club.”
After 17 seasons, Verga’s tally is 91 goals for AH&BC. He scored his first goal for Amsterdam at home against Laren on March 2, 2008. He scored the most against ‘neighbor’ Pinoke: 9 times.
In September, Verga will receive a special farewell match from his club.
