I would like advice or may need help creating a new category for the profile of Jakob Johannes Marinus Adriaan de Bruin. The category might be named something like Dutch_Soccer_Hall_of-Fame.

Could I get help creating the new category? Or is there an existing category to use? Thank you!

There is a category Association Football. Maybe a subcategory The Netherlands, Association Football could be made?

I wouldn't use the American word 'soccer' for football outside the USA.

Edit: There is a subcategory Netherlands, International Football Players already.

Dank voor de reactie. I found the subcategory. He would fit in there. Question remains what should be the order in categories: International players_country' or 'country_International_players'. Too may degrees of freedom.

As to languages: in english the game is called soccer. Should a translated in Dutch categorie be added for the same now called voetbal_internationals.

These categories are generally in the form Country, Subject, so in this case Netherlands, International Football Players.

When you want to make the distinction between different kinds of football, the FIFA variant (this variant) is called 'association football'. This sport is called 'football' in most varieties of English. 'Soccer' is a word used in American and Canadian English.
