Lions filed for bankruptcy last month. The club was sentenced in a lawsuit to a fine of 50,000 euros to former player Joao Ramos. The Portuguese filed a case against the club because he believed his contract had been unlawfully terminated. The judge agreed with him.
The Limburgers ran into financial problems, after which the licensing committee revoked the license. Lions appealed against that decision and was vindicated. In addition to Aalsmeer, Volendam and Lions, Bevo, Hurry-Up and Houten also participate in the NL League.
