Voetbal International (VI) is a Dutch football (soccer) magazine, which has been published since 1965. It is the oldest Dutch football magazine that is still running.

As of 2006, VI is published by WP Sports Media. Cees van Cuilenborg runs the magazine and Johan Derksen is chief editor. The magazine is read by approximately 800,000 people every week.

In addition to the regular magazine that comes out every Wednesday, VI makes guides before the start of the competitions each season. For years they have made a guide for the Dutch season, with the scheme and information about every team and its players. The past few years, Voetbal International has made guides for the English, German, French, Belgian and Spanish competitions as well. They also make a guide for the Dutch Hoofdklasse, the highest amateur league.

Since the beginning of 2006-2007 season, VI has begun with making a Voetbaljaarboek ("Football (Soccer) Yearbook"). In this book, which is about 650 pages long, people can read about important football history and future. It is their aim to make one Voetbaljaarboek every year.
