Box P, the fanatical supporters group of FC Twente, will boycott the home game against FC Utrecht on Sunday, April 25. They do not wish to participate in the tests in professional football to allow an audience to attend football matches again. It is a thorn in the side of the supporters of the Tukkers that a test society has emerged in the Netherlands in the field of sports events, among other things.

“We will not let ourselves be tested unnecessarily to be able to support and see FC Twente play in our church!”, Vak P wrote in a statement on the Facebook page on Thursday morning. “The previous competitions have shown that with limited measures it is easy to welcome 8,000 visitors. Why then only 4,000 visitors WITH a negative test?” If everyone still needs to be tested negative, you can also play in a VOLLE Veste! “

“We do not contribute to a ‘test society’. In the interest of the KNVB and with a view to the European Championship, there are now suddenly possibilities? We will all go with US or we will NOT go!”, Adds the indignant board of Vak P to that. It was recently announced that visitors will again be welcome at matches in the Eredivisie from round thirty. Admitting the public is part of a large-scale government pilot to reopen society using access tests. Fans are allowed in on the condition that they can show a negative corona test.

On Sunday, April 25, in addition to the home game of Twente with Utrecht, the match between Ajax and AZ is also on the program. In addition, 7500 supporters are welcome in the Johan Cruijff ArenA. It is possible that leader Ajax will become champion in this home game. At Feyenoord against Vitesse on the same day, 6500 spectators are welcome in De Kuip, while at PSV against FC Groningen the day before an audience of 4000 people is welcome. The cup final between Ajax and Vitesse on Sunday April 18, a week earlier, is still without an audience.
