“Our club believes that this decision is unlawful,” KV Kortrijk said in a response on Saturday evening. “This was clearly also the initial view of the calendar manager, who indicated last night that there is currently no regulatory framework within the current federation regulations to postpone these (and any other) matches by the calendar manager of the Pro League in case of a large number of positive players, as is the case with Antwerp. The Pro League had also previously expressly decided not to postpone any more matches because of corona, and this because of the already crowded calendar. Unlike in other competitions, no matches can be postponed today due to corona.”
“Nevertheless, our club received the message this afternoon that the match would be postponed, despite its own regulations, with only a vague reference to ‘the new omikron variant that appears to be particularly contagious’, and the infections in Antwerp that are the cause of the disease. would be the result of,” it sounds at the Guys. “Our club notes that rules have only a relative value and that from now on any club that is struggling with even one omicron contamination can request that a match be postponed.”
Kortrijk also said that it is considering legal action. “In such a context, fair competition seems pure utopia and threatens not even to be completed.”
