Competition Board Appeals to Mayor to Permit FC Groningen Fans

The competition board of professional football has made an urgent request to the mayor of Edam-Volendam to permit away supporters of FC Groningen at an upcoming match. The request concerns the fixture between Ajax and FC Groningen. The board emphasized the need for the mayor's intervention to ensure that FC Groningen fans can travel to the stadium. The appeal is described as urgent. The request is limited to the Ajax versus FC Groningen game. No similar request has been made for the FC Volendam versus Willem II match.

The competition board clarified that the decision for the other match remains unchanged. The FC Volendam‑Willem II fixture will proceed without additional away supporters. The mayor of Edam-Volendam has been asked to consider the appeal promptly. The board hopes for a positive response before the match date. If the mayor approves, FC Groningen supporters will be allowed to attend the game in Amsterdam. This would align the match with standard supporter policies.
