The extra step that the football association is now entering consists of conversations with all the municipalities that have submitted a Bidbook. “All proposals submitted have been drawn up with care and ambition. But to arrive at a weighted and substantiated selection, there are additional questions that must be answered,” the KNVB said.
After this extra questions round, the KNVB will decide internally at the end of February with which five municipalities will be conducted follow -up interviews.
