Cultural integration

Research shows that 50% of expats in Amsterdam lacked personal guidance that could help them integrate into a new culture, know their environment and provide support with practical matters.
Expats indicate that missing this guidance has affected their work performance, and that has led to an earlier departure in a number of cases.

Research shows that 66% of the Latin American players will return to their native country or other club within a year without the proper guidance.
