According to Vi.

Why it matters

Feyenoord's decision not to bring away fans to their next two matches is an important step for the safety of all supporters in Eredivisie football. The fireworks incident in the match against SC Cambuur caused serious damage and highlighted the need for tighter security at matches. This move aims to prevent such incidents in the future and maintain order in the stadiums.

Key Points

• Feyenoord will travel without away fans next time.
• Feyenoord has implemented immediate measures: no away fans on the next two league trips after the fireworks incident in Cambuur.
• Feyenoord neemt beschluit: geen fans mee naar komende twee uitduels.

Feyenoord imposed strict measures after the fireworks incident last Sunday in the match against SC Cambuur in Leeuwarden. The club's management announced that they will not bring supporters to the next two Eredivisie away matches in immediate response to the incident in which seven people were reported injured inside the stadium. According to the report, the fireworks that were set off in the first minutes of the game came from the Feyenoord visitors' section. Goalkeeper Tjark Ernst was almost hit, and pieces were also thrown towards the Cambuur supporters' section, injuring several spectators. The home club has filed a complaint and Feyenoord is cooperating fully with the investigation. On their own initiative, the team will travel without support from their away end for the first two matches in September—against NEC and PEC Zwolle. The club shared with X that the incident was a "much-discussed and totally unacceptable fireworks incident." In Feyenoord's official statement, the management also admitted that they are aware that the large majority of loyal and orderly supporters will also be affected, but the measure is said to be necessary for safety and order. General director Robert Eenhoorn stressed that after what happened in Leeuwarden, this is the right step for now.

In this regard, it was also confirmed that the independent prosecutor of the KNVB is acting to investigate the incident, so it is also possible that the club will face further punishment from the league authority. Feyenoord hopes to provide more details in the coming days regarding the identification of the culprits. As a practical matter, the club has ensured that supporters who have already bought tickets for the two away matches will receive a refund. As heavy as it is for policy-abiding fans, Feyenoord's message is clear: security and responsible viewing are a priority. In the wider context of the Eredivisie, pyrotechnics are banned in stadiums, and clubs and the KNVB continue to work together to prevent such incidents. Although they will lose the extra boost from their away ends in Nijmegen and Zwolle—trips that are traditionally a challenge for any visitor—Feyenoord are prepared to take the weight of this decision to show responsibility and safeguard the safety of all spectators.

What's next

In Feyenoord's next matches against NEC and PEC Zwolle, the team will travel without support from their supporters. The club will continue to cooperate with the KNVB investigation to determine responsibilities in the incident. Affected fans are expected to receive refunds, while Feyenoord's management is putting measures in place to improve security at their next Eredivisie matches.
