Voetbal Vlaanderen is demolishing provincial borders: a maximum of 50 kilometers there and back for away matches of son or daughter. “And that is good for the clubs: there will be more derbies”

What the governments of this country cannot do, Voetbal Vlaanderen does: abolish the provinces – or at least for youth football. This means from next season that you will have to drive 20 kilometers less for the furthest away matches between your son and daughter and that the matches will be more fun, with clubs that are more evenly matched. And: “For the first time in their existence, clubs from villages will be able to play a derby next to each other, but separated by a provincial border. That’s good for the clubs, because derbies attract more supporters and more people means more income.”
