KNVB’s Decision on Jong Ajax – RKC Match Sparks Outrage

omidbasir- On Monday evening, the KNVB faced substantial criticism for its refusal to postpone the Jong Ajax – RKC match, despite many players from Ajax expressing a desire for a delay due to the unfortunate passing of Mark Verkuijl’s girlfriend.

A spokesperson for the KNVB commented to NOS, stating, “Our policy stipulates that matches are typically only postponed in the event of the death of a player or a staff member. However, this remains a challenging decision, and it does not diminish the gravity of the situation; this is a deeply impactful and sorrowful event.”
