If Vitesse permanently disappears from professional football, SV Spakenburg is absolutely not eager to fill the gap in the Kitchen Champion Division. If Vitesse were declared bankrupt, there would be nineteen teams at the second Dutch level. To fill this gap, a twentieth club could be called up.
However, Spakenburg is not looking forward to this and thanks you kindly. “They don’t have to call us,” says Marc Schoonebeek RTV Utrecht. “We will never enter professional football. The KNVB has closed the door to promotion on sporting grounds. Amateur clubs can still join professional football, but you don’t even have to become champions.”

“If you want to get into the first division, you have to bring a million. If you do very well, you will earn it back in one or two years. And if you don’t like it and want to go back to the amateurs, you have to start again in the fifth division. Not a hair on my head thinks about that,” explains the chairman of the club from the fishing village.
Transfer specialist Fabrizio Romano reports this Ajax is close to an agreement with Cruz Azul on a transfer.
