Beveren says that due to intensive use, both by the A-team and Jong Genk, the field of the Cegeka Arena, where the match was scheduled, is in a bad condition.
KRC Genk investigated all possible solutions to allow the match to take place on a field belonging to a neighboring club. “No team was flexible.”
“As a last resort, SK Beveren has proposed to open the doors of its own Freethiel, so that the match can still be played on a safe and regulatory field on Friday.”
To ensure that neither team has home field advantage, the game will take place behind closed doors, said Beveren.
“The visitors” are 2nd to 1 point from leader RWDM, Jong Genk is penultimate.
