It was previously announced that Feyenoord will have to do without its own supporters in the away match against Lazio. With that decision of the Italian Ministry of the Interior, the municipal triangle and Feyenoord do not consider it responsible to receive Italian supporters in De Kuip. “This is from the point of view of both safety and, for Feyenoord, from the point of view of sportsmanship,” Feyenoord said in a statement.
This decision will free up more seats for Feyenoord supporters, a Feyenoord spokesperson confirmed on Wednesday evening. It is not yet clear how many additional tickets are available. More will become clear about this at a later date.
The Roman authorities have not been interested in Feyenoord supporters since disturbances during a European match between Feyenoord and AS Roma in 2015. Riots took place in the city and the 17th-century Barcaccia fountain near the Spanish Steps was damaged. .
