Vitesse will still appeal against the decision of the Midden-Nederland District Court to intact the decision of the License and Appeals Committee to withdraw the professional license, reports the Court of Appeal in Arnhem.
The decline of Vitesse: how club completely collapsed in over three years
This is not confirmed by Schaaij, who is the buttons as a strong holder’s leader at Vitesse and has jumped into the power vacuum after leaving the complete management and almost the entire supervisory board. According to a so-called turbo-powering, the Sterkhouders-foreman is explicitly open as an option. That would already be served next Monday to the Arnhem Court of Appeal. With a turbo -powered, things can be put on the agenda urgently.
Response Vitesse
In an official response, Vitesse says: “Vitesse has decided to request a date for a hearing at the Court of Appeal in order to make an appeal against the judgment of the preliminary relief judge.”
New heart cry by parents of Vitesse youth players: ‘Our children are being held hostage’
,, The club has been in consultation with the KNVB in recent weeks to come to a joint and workable solution. These conversations are still running and run in a constructive atmosphere. At the same time, given all interests, supporters, local economy, the city of Arnhem, it is important for Vitesse not to lose its rights and to take legal steps within the set deadlines so that all options remain open. ”
“Vitesse emphasizes that it prefers a fast and appropriate solution in consultation with the KNVB and continues to be committed to being able to pursue a feasible dot on the horizon.”
Youth education active
Last week, Vitesse and KNVB announced that the youth academy can participate in the competition this season and that the first team will not be active in amateur football this season. At the earliest, the first team will be able to flow into the third division from the 2026/2027 season. That outcome did not fall well at Vitesse, which apparently still tries to get the place in professional football back through an appeal.
Hour You are approaching for possible restart Vitesse at amateurs
The chances of success are thereby estimated by lawyers as small. There are also the necessary practical objections, because several first-team players have now left, so that Vitesse-if it would still acquire the starting ticket for the Kitchen Champion Division through the appeal-can no longer get a team going. In recent days there were only barely eleven players on the training field.
Bankruptcy Vitesse threatens
Moreover, a bankruptcy for Vitesse threatens because the bills and payment obligations accumulate, while the income has dried after the withdrawal of the professional license. A major problem, that looms up, is the obligation to pay the rent of 2.4 million euros for Gelredome on 1 October.
Incidentally, the restart of the Vitesse Academy with Horten and Pads is. Last Saturday, the first match of the under 21 team had to be canceled because only six players were available. One under 13 team did come into action. For the coming Saturday, the question is how many teams can take action, because there are shortages of players in several teams because youth footballers have left or no longer want to take action in anticipation of a departure wish.
