Overview
- Multiple fixtures were called off Saturday evening due to snow, while Vitesse trained on a pitch covered by roughly ten centimeters of snow.
- NEC shifted its first 2026 session to artificial turf in Nijmegen, and Sami Ouaissa’s Ajax red card was rescinded, making him available for Friday’s restart against FC Utrecht; the KNVB Cup tie at De Treffers is set for 13 January in Groesbeek.
- FC Groningen opened a five-day camp in Marbella after a roughly two-hour Schiphol delay canceled Friday’s planned session, with coach Dick Lukkien saying the team has too few points and scheduling a Tuesday friendly against FK Bodø/Glimt.
- De Graafschap integrated winger Chahid El Allachi following his move from FC Den Bosch, and striker Bouke Boersma attracted interest from Sparta and Heracles after scoring eleven times this season.
- Feyenoord’s Marbella trip was also disrupted as heavy rain and wind led to the cancellation of both Sunday field trainings, prompting an indoor program.
