The match between Ajax and FC Utrecht next Sunday will not take place. Last week, the police unions announced strikes at the match, after which the municipality of Amsterdam decided on Monday not to issue a permit.
Last week it became clear that the match between Ajax and FC Utrecht was in jeopardy. The police unions announced strikes around the match in the Johan Cruijff Arena.
FC Utrecht says it is disappointed with the decision: “Police officers have every right to strike, but the club would have liked to have further explored the option of playing the match with an audience in collaboration with Ajax and the municipality of Amsterdam, among others. The discussions held in recent days made everyone hopeful.”
It is expected that a new date for the match will be announced shortly. The 1,000 available tickets for the away section, which were already sold out this Monday, remain valid.
