Supporters Association Ajax is absolutely not in favor of resuming the Eredivisie. Due to the corona crisis, it remains to be seen whether the league will be completed this season, but the KNVB does not want to put an end to this football year yet. “It is improper management,” said Fabian Nagtzaam, director of the association One today.
Many mayors have already announced that it will be difficult to have duels completed in the summer. However, UEFA would like to see all European countries completing the competitions and the KNVB is currently adhering to this plan, provided that the government and RIVM allow it. “It is absolutely impossible that you do not check outlined scenarios, with the mayors in this case,” says Nagtzaam.

The fact that the club ends first when the competition is stopped does not mean anything to the Ajax fan. “We definitely don’t see ourselves as the winner. In this case, all professional football has lost. Just like the whole of society. We think it is absolutely not possible for the KNVB to place itself outside society, “Nagtzaam refers to the measures due to the outbreak of the corona virus.
Nagtzaam states that there has also been a survey among fans and most of them are reluctant to continue the competition. “The majority just want to sit healthy in the stands again next year,” said the director, who has to guess why the KNVB wants to continue playing. “We think it’s on urgent advice from UEFA, which tends to blackmail. Then it’s ultimately about money.”
“Those support services, such as the police and ambulances, are already busy enough. Do we want to bother them with football in the summer months? I don’t think so”, says Nagtzaam, who understands that mayors are afraid of gatherings in the inner cities. “Supporters will always come together. It is an experience sport. Football was invented for that, for the public. Playing without it would be bankrupt for football.”
