KNVB: ‘Cup final not shifted’ | Football

sport">“There is no room for shifts in the schedule. This is due to the late start of the competition and the European Championship that starts on June 11th. In addition, it does not offer any guarantee. Previously, all top matches in the Eredivisie have been scheduled for the second half of this season in the hope that an audience would be allowed to attend. Unfortunately, that turned out to be different ”, the football association said.

sport">General director Pascal van Wijk of Vitesse expressed the wish that the cup final does not have to be played in a completely empty Kuip. According to the football association, there is no insight into that yet. “We very much hope that as KNVB. But of course, the government ultimately determines what can and cannot be done. Relaxation of the corona measures can be followed via the government’s roadmap, in which the contamination figures are leading. However, no one can say exactly how the coronavirus will develop in the near future and, in conjunction with that, when which easing measures can be implemented. ”
