Playing Eredivisie increasingly in danger | Soccer

The current deadline runs until June 1, but organizers and mayors have already asked the cabinet to provide clarity for a longer period of time. The exact date is not mentioned in the council, which leaked Tuesday morning, but is likely to be September 1.

If the Eredivisie has to be completed after that date, the new season will also be under pressure, which seems undesirable. Especially since the European Championship is on the program in the summer of 2021. Playing soccer after July 1 brings complications anyway, as many soccer players’ contracts expire that day. Hakim Ziyech from Ajax will transfer to Chelsea on July 1, for example.

The UNWTO (Outbreak Management Team) presented its advice to Minister Hugo de Jonge for Health, Welfare and Sport and the Ministerial Committee for Crisis Management on Tuesday.

The cabinet will examine the document on Tuesday afternoon and then decide whether or not to adjust the current measures. At 19:00, the chosen route will be announced at a press conference with Prime Minister Mark Rutte and Minister De Jonge.

Ajax and AZ are currently leading the way in the frozen Eredivisie. The Amsterdammers have a slightly better goal balance.

The OMT also addresses the situation of the best individual athletes in its councils. When it comes to OMT, they can train again, as long as they keep a distance of 1.5 meters from each other.

See below the relevant passages from the UNWTO report:

• The UNWTO estimates that the public health risk associated with admission of events poses a real risk that the virus will spread too fast and too far. Because the OMT does not expect this to change anytime soon, the OMT recommends extending the event ban for a longer period of time.
• The OMT estimates that the public health risk associated with allowing organized outdoor sports for youth up to the age of 18 in additional conditions is manageable. For children up to 12 years old, outdoor team sport is possible with regard to training, where it is not necessary to maintain the distance of 1.5 meters; Between 12 and 18 years, young people can also train, but at a distance of 1.5 m between them.
• The OMT estimates that the public health risk associated with allowing individual sports under additional conditions, with a observed distance of 1.5 meters, is manageable for the best athletes. UNWTO advises umbrella organizations to further develop the conditions.
• The UNWTO estimates that allowing organized sports for groups other than those mentioned above currently poses a potential risk of the virus spreading too quickly and too widely and recommends waiting for the effects of the proposed relaxation before taking further action. to build
