Overview
- Wolverhampton Wanderers confirmed the August 1 friendly at SC Heerenveen has been cancelled and replaced by a home match against Racing Santander at Molineux with a 5pm kick‑off.
- The club said local authorities in Heerenveen required supporters to travel on organised coaches from Amsterdam, limited tickets to those coach travellers and capped attending Wolves fans at 650, which led to the decision to pull out.
- Wolves said they raised concerns about supporter safety and match-day operations during talks and thanked SC Heerenveen for being cooperative while the local authority would not change its position.
- Supporters who have non‑refundable travel or accommodation booked for the trip to the Netherlands are being asked to contact Wolves Fan Services to discuss options and the club will publish ticket information for the Molineux game in due course.
- The replacement keeps Wolves’ pre‑season plan intact ahead of a training camp and other friendlies and sees them face Racing Santander, who were promoted from Spain’s second tier last month, as a final tune‑up before the season.
