Hugo de Jonge – outgoing Minister of Health, Welfare and Sport – wants the standing stands in the Dutch stadiums to close for the time being. De Jonge says on Monday that the spread of the audience during the rounds in the Eredivisie and the Kitchen Champion Division was better last weekend and therefore states that no additional measures will be taken for the time being. De Jonge, however, believes that ‘hustle must be finished in a clumsy way’.

On Friday, De Jonge issued a warning to the football supporters. He warned that the corona rules could be tightened if supporters did not sit neatly in their seats last weekend. The outgoing cabinet wants football clubs to better ensure that the rules are complied with. “The coming weekend should be better than it went in the past weekends,” De Jonge said about the full boxes in the stadiums and the jumping and partying fans. filled, that may be a reason to tighten the measures again.”

The outgoing Minister of Health, Welfare and Sport saw an improvement last weekend. “The spread of crowds in stadiums was really better. The admission tickets were well checked,” the signs say General Newspaper and The Telegraph from the mouth of De Jonge. According to him, there is no reason for additional measures for the time being. “You shouldn’t want the good guys to suffer from a few bad guys. I’ve seen that things are going well for the majority. Then I think additional measures are going too far for everyone.”

The mayors will consult with the professional clubs and the KNVB. According to De Jonge, mayors are primarily responsible for enforcement in the stadiums. Standing stands – ‘Apparently they are still there, I didn’t know that,’ said De Jonge, according to the General Newspaper – must, however, be closed and season ticket holders should be even better distributed throughout the stadium. “I saw in a number of courses in a number of stadiums that the hustling in a clump was not over yet. That is of course also difficult in the emotion of football, I understand that. But we really shouldn’t do that.”

De Jonge was present on Sunday afternoon at the match between Feyenoord and Go Ahead Eagles. The deputy prime minister himself is a fan of Feyenoord, but some of his fellow supporters were not happy with his presence. “Hugo, shut up, shut up. Hugo, shut up”, was sung in De Kuip. A large banner was also displayed on which De Jonge was instructed: ‘Sit and shut up’. De Jonge speaks to The Telegraph of ‘stadium humour’. “You have to be able to handle that.”
