Surprise: Attorney at law FC Utrecht works for KNVB | Football

sport">Bedaux does appeal cases in disciplinary law for the same KNVB! In fact, he is the most important man, chairman of the national disciplinary appeals committee. Bedaux proudly talks about this on his LinkedIn page. If ‘job on the side’ he mentions there that he ‘President of the national appeals committee for disciplinary matters’ is.

sport">Bedaux has therefore already looked in the kitchen at the KNVB all these years and is now facing the football association. Moreover, not for the first time. A year ago he also assisted the Utrecht residents. He was then involved as a lawyer in the case surrounding the cup final that the KNVB no longer allowed to play due to the outbreak of the corona pandemic, which meant that Willem II and not FC Utrecht received a European ticket.

sport">At Feyenoord too, one should be surprised by Bedaux as a counsel in this matter. The Rotterdammers are not formally a party, but they are going to ‘join’. In case law, this means that a party may find something of the case because of the great importance for this party. Although the summary proceedings are brought by FC Utrecht against the KNVB, Feyenoord can ultimately be disadvantaged.

sport">Obviously, the European Football Association is not involved in the matter. But last year it is known that UEFA allows clubs to participate in European tournaments that are qualified on the basis of sporting grounds and not on the basis of regulatory decisions. Due to the corona pandemic, this was deviated from last season.
