Feyenoord has again been punished for misconduct by its own fans. The KNVB has ordered the club to leave the boxes with the fanatical fans empty in the last home game of the season and pay a fine of 15,000 euros.
This means that coach Arne Slot cannot be waved goodbye by his own fanatical fans in the match against Excelsior on May 19. The coach will most likely leave for Liverpool after this season. The clubs are currently finalizing the final details of the transfer.
The KNVB’s professional football prosecutor handed out the punishments because Feyenoord fans set off fireworks in boxes X, R, S and T during the match against FC Groningen in the semi-finals of the KNVB Cup. That game was played on February 29.
“When determining the punishment, the size of the fireworks during the match against FC Groningen, the danger associated with it and the fact that there is recidivism in these areas, were taken into account,” Feyenoord quotes the prosecutor’s statement. on your own site.
Feyenoord’s fanatical fans have broken the rules several times this season. They also set off fireworks during the cup match against FC Utrecht at the end of last year. Since then, a suspended sentence has been outstanding.
It is not the first time that fanatical fans are not welcome at Feyenoord’s home games. Section Z has been closed several times by UEFA due to misconduct. In 2021, Feyenoord even closed sections to avoid fines from UEFA.
