Roel Dijkstra is a series of comic books about football, originally from the Netherlands, that originated from the brain of the artist Jan Steeman and screenwriter Andries Brandt (parts 1-10).

(parts 20-21).

Main character Roel Dijkstra is a blond Dutch footballer who grows into an international football hero. He starts his career at the local football club "FC Leidrecht", which plays in the second division. His football qualities do not go unnoticed and an international transfer is therefore inevitable. He leaves for the United Kingdom where he plays for "FC Hadfort" and where he struggles with adjustment problems. During his career he still plays football for the Corsican "FC Union" and after his return to the Netherlands with "FC Rapiditas". Dijkstra gets involved. in many circumstances, including shady club presidents, bribery and personal problems, while at the same time he has to play football against relegation, play for the cup or the national championship and he has a fierce competition with fellow players.

In mid-2009, Eppo, which had risen from the ashes, reported an imminent comeback by Roel Dijkstra, but it was not until 2017 that the first album of the new series was released, which was numbered again from number 1. Artist Roelof Wijtsma and screenwriter Willem Ritstier took over the series and started their series with a return of Roel Dijkstra to FC Leidrecht.
