Feyenoord and KNVB argue about date | Football

sport">Feyenoord relies on the agreements that have been made about thinking along with clubs that play in a European context. Due to an Israeli holiday, the away game against the Israeli Maccabi Haifa in the group stage of the Conference League will be played on Tuesday, September 14 instead of Thursday.

sport">“It is a long journey and the rest time is partly included in the travel time,” said a Feyenoord spokesperson. “We think the move is correct because of the agreed protection of European clubs, which unfortunately could not be implemented last week either.” At the initiative of the local triangle in Utrecht, the away match against FC Utrecht was stopped on Sunday at 12.15 pm, while Feyenoord had asked to finish that match later in the day.

sport">In addition to the European interest, there is something else going on for Feyenoord. Due to FIFA’s extension of the international match period in South America, the team from Rotterdam must play without Luis Sinisterra, one of the most dangerous Feyenoord players in this early season, on Sunday 12 September.

sport">Feyenoord expects to receive a decision from the KNVB early next week.
