It is a match that many football fans always look forward to: Feyenoord against Ajax. This coming Sunday, that match would be played in Rotterdam.
But the match has been cancelled. The municipality of Rotterdam has decided, because the police are on strike. That means that officers will not be working that day. They think that money agreements are not properly arranged, and that is why they are going to demonstrate on Sunday.
We cannot guarantee the safety of the players and the public if the police are not present at the match.
Mayor Aboutaleb
The mayor will not allow the match to go ahead without police, because there are often riots between Feyenoord and Ajax supporters.
It is not yet known when the match between Feyenoord and Ajax will be rescheduled.
Why was the Feyenoord vs. Ajax match cancelled?
The police are on strike
The football field is broken
Many football players are sick
The weather is getting bad
