Go Ahead Eagles and PEC both meet an amateur club in the first round of the KNVB Cup. HHC Hardenberg and Sparta Nijkerk will have a tough job: they both play against teams from the Premier League.

A trip to North Holland and teams from the second division await the clubs of the IJsselderby: Go Ahead Eagles will meet the Royal HFC (Haarlem), PEC must visit AFC.

HHC Hardenberg and Sparta Nijkerk are in turn the hosts for two Premier League players: the team from Overijssel plays against Heracles Almelo, while Nijkerk from Gelderland visits Fortuna Sittard.

Premier league clubs against each other once

Furthermore, the draw for the first round of the TOTO KNVB Cup has produced one poster between clubs from the Premier League: FC Utrecht plays at home against RKC Waalwijk.

There are also several matches between professional clubs on the programme, such as NEC – Roda JC, FC Den Bosch – Excelsior, De Graafschap – FC Emmen and Heerenveen – VVV-Venlo. Sparta visits the amateurs of IJsselmeervogels and ADO Den Haag takes on the amateurs of VV Noordwijk.
