Bas Nijhuis no longer whistles international duels because of TV appearances | Football

sport">He has asked the KNVB to remove him from the relevant list after he found out that UEFA was not happy with his performance in the television program Oranjezomer during the European Football Championship.

sport">Nijhuis said that during the program on Monday Veronica Inside. “After the summer, I noticed that people were not happy with my TV performance. I called UEFA and was told that it was indeed not customary for arbitrators to appear on TV. It played along. But they said, send an email and we’ll look. But that email was never answered. I don’t want to be confronted with lesser matches and observers who give me low marks. Then I’d rather stop.”
