In the port of Rotterdam, there are fans waiting.
Hard blow for Feyenoord fans. While the Rotterdam club will have to play its last match of the group stage of the Champions League on January 29 in Lille, French local authorities decided to ban Dutch fans from the event according to a press release from the Feyenoord club. The announcement comes after weeks of fierce discussions between clubs, local authorities and even UEFA.
2000 supporters en visio
Feyenoord had however everything planned : a concrete plan to organize the travel of 2,000 supporters, with security and logistics guarantees. But despite the efforts made and last-minute interventions to resolve the situation, the answer came this Tuesday afternoon: no. The club's supporters will not set foot at the Pierre-Mauroy stadium. Feyenoord did not hide its disappointment with this decision which he considers unjustified. The club's management is now considering its options, but one thing is certain: the atmosphere in Lille will not be the same without the songs of the Kuip faithful…
…nor the mania of its ultras to return everything to the city.
