The KNVB has the clubs from the Eredivisie and Kitchen Champion Division pointed to their responsibility in complying with the corona protocols, De Telegraaf reports. If it turns out after a cancellation that they could have done more to prevent this, the KNVB can intervene.
A fine or a regulatory defeat are options, he said The Telegraph. It took a while before the first match was canceled due to corona, but now the counter is at five: RKC Waalwijk – PEC Zwolle, FC Den Bosch – Almere City, De Graafschap – NAC Breda were already canceled and NAC – SC Cambuur and Helmond Sport – De Graafschap were moved to next Monday.
Competition manager Jan Bluyssen is in conversation with De Telegraaf not afraid of the course of the competition, but is putting the clubs on edge. “As everywhere in society, there will continue to be positive tests in football, but what needs to be done is that with one, two or three positive cases, the rest of the selection does not have to be quarantined. clubs themselves by following the established protocols. If these are properly observed, the GGD will not find quarantine necessary and you can just play. “
“We have urged the clubs to follow the protocols very strictly,” says Bluyssen. “If that has not happened, which means that a large part of the selection has to be quarantined, then there will still have to be played in the future. And if that is not possible due to a shortage of players, it will be a matter for the disciplinary committee. He will then see whether a club can be blamed for compliance with the protocols. “
