Possible celebration Feyenoord on May 15 at the earliest

The possible celebration of Feyenoord for winning the sixteenth national title is on Monday 15 May at the earliest. The municipality of Rotterdam says that a championship party at an earlier time entails financial risks.

Leader Feyenoord can possibly celebrate the championship in the premier league on Sunday 7 May with a victory in the away match against Excelsior. In that case, number two PSV may not win against Sparta on Saturday 6 May.

So a folk festival can erupt in the center of Rotterdam on May 7, but the municipality will not organize the official festivities until Monday, May 15.

According to the municipality of Rotterdam, it is not possible to organize a ceremony in such a short time. “In terms of hiring and material and personnel, a lot has to be agreed in advance in the run-up to a possible ceremony. We also have to enter into financial obligations with that,” the municipality told RTV Rijnmond. “In addition, material and personnel are also deployed on King’s Day and the Liberation Day festivities.”

Feyenoord is disappointed with the way things are going. “We understand the situation of the municipality, but the period between the title and the ceremony is too long,” says a spokesman for the club.

If Feyenoord does not become champion on May 7, it will have the chance to become champion in its own Kuip on Sunday, May 14. Go Ahead Eagles is then the opponent.
