“You have to realize that I have taken a lot of steps back and physically. I was declared fully incapacitated for work. I was busy with my final thesis for my training and after my football career, I had a prospect of an income at HBO level. My lawyer hired a mathematist and this amount has come out there,” Van Iperen in May 2024 Know to NH Sport.
Van Iperen and FC Zimbru and directly opposite each other
In recent years, Van Iperen and Zimbru have been directly opposed to each other. “We encounter a hugely rigid attitude of the football club. They don’t recognize any fault and find that they have done nothing wrong.”
“The FC Zimbru football club refuses to recognize all responsibility for the accident and the negligence in connection with not taking out the required insurance policies. Although FIFA confirms that the club misses the required insurance (health insurance, accidents and/or disability insurance), the Disputes Committee finds the already paid reimbursement.”
“The family is fundamentally disagreing. They demand higher compensation, not only for the medical expenses incurred, but also for the consequences of disability and the seriousness of the accident itself. For this reason we will appeal to the CAS,” says brother Joey.
