The announced return of Arjen Robben at FC Groningen will spark a lot among the fans of the club on Saturday. The FC Groningen website became overloaded after the news because supporters wanted to buy season tickets en masse.

It is not yet known how many season tickets FC Groningen sold on Saturday. The counter for this weekend was a few thousand. Chances are that at the beginning of the new season not everyone can enter the stadium because of the corona crisis.
Robben, 36, announced just before that he is making a comeback as a footballer after ending his career with Bayern Munich last year. De Groninger made his debut in 2000 at the age of sixteen in professional football at FC Groningen, where he also completed the youth academy.
FC Groningen organizes a press conference on Sunday at 2.30 p.m., during which Robben will give a detailed explanation of the process he is currently taking. He regularly trained with Bayern this season to maintain his fitness and made a fit impression.
However, Robben still keeps a small arm around his return as a footballer. “I don’t know yet whether this will work. What I do know is that it will not depend on my dedication and motivation. It is now my dream to play in the shirt of FC Groningen again,” he said on the website. from FC Groningen.
