“It’s good that the sport remains open, but difficult times are breaking for the associations.” Director Gerard Dielessen of the NOC * NSF sports umbrella makes no bones about it after the announcement by Prime Minister Mark Rutte that the sports world should not admit an audience for the next three weeks and that the canteens must remain closed.
NOC * NSF is pleased that indoor and outdoor sports can be actively practiced, also in a competitive context. However, the sports association also knows well that club life will be severely tested.
Income is lost
“The cabinet has taken understandable measures that now limit our freedom to ensure that we do not lose this freedom further later this year. However, it will be difficult for associations. A number of income from a sports association is now completely lost due to the ban on public, the lack of events and the closing of canteens. This situation could not last long without adequate compensation “, Dielessen adds Along the Line And Environs on NPO Radio 1.
