Feyenoord Bars Away Fans After Leeuwarden Fireworks Incident as Multiple Probes Advance

Police are reviewing match footage to identify suspects after Feyenoord halted travel to NEC and PEC Zwolle.

Overview

  • From the Feyenoord away section at the Cambuur match on Sunday, fireworks were thrown onto the pitch and into a home stand, leaving seven Cambuur supporters injured and narrowly missing Feyenoord’s goalkeeper.
  • Feyenoord announced it will not bring away supporters to the upcoming matches at NEC and PEC Zwolle while the club studies video evidence and cooperates with police; the review of footage is expected to take several days.
  • Nijmegen’s mayor said he will bar Feyenoord fans from De Goffert for the NEC game if no suspects are arrested, and the KNVB’s independent prosecutor has opened a separate inquiry into the stadium incident.
  • Separately, prosecutors are pressing ahead with other high-profile cases: the Public Prosecution Service has demanded a 12-year sentence in the Assen/Zwolle stabbing case and a care-worker’s remand was extended after he became a suspect in two deaths at Joris Zorg.
  • A court provisionally released two men held in the fatal MDMA-bottle case after more than eight months in custody but kept strict conditions and reiterated that the allegations remain serious.
