Van Dijk first wore the captain's armband on 24 October 2018 during the Champions League match against Rode Ster Belgrado, when he was chosen as the third captain behind Jordan Henderson and James Milner. After Henderson's departure in the summer of 2023, Van Dijk took over as the club's captain. VoetbalPrimeur reports that Van Dijk has extended his contract with Liverpool until 2025, allowing him to continue his impressive tenure as captain.
Van Dijk's achievement places him among the club's most iconic figures, with an impressive trophy cabinet to show for his time at Anfield. He is now part of an exclusive group of Liverpool captains who have reached the 200-game milestone, including Steven Gerrard, who holds the record with 470 appearances.
