Good afternoon and welcome to this live blog! Here we will keep you informed of everything concerning the successful appeal of Vitesse, that may return to professional football.

Hello and welcome to this live blog. Here we will keep you informed of the latest developments around Vitesse. The club was right today on appeal and can still play professional football this season.

A photo from an hour ago on Papendal, the training complex of Vitesse. At 3 p.m., interim director Ben Mansvelder, lawyer Berry van Drunen and chairman of the strong holders Michel Schaay will hold a press moment to give an explanation of the good news for the club. Nu.nl reporter Jeroen van Barneveld will be there.

Trade union: ‘It will be a long process’ chairman Evgeniy Levchenko of players’ union VVCS provides a “long process” for Vitesse to put together a (good) selection. “Vitesse will now have to switch. In a hurry, they have to look for the right players to be competitive at all,” he says.

Levchenko, who himself played at Vitesse for five years since 1996, is happy that the Arnhemmers can continue to play professional football. “It is a surprise, but if VVCS we are super happy. I could not imagine that Vitesse would cease to exist. It is a piece of sentiment. Now it is important that Vitesse picks it up well and builds up nicely.”

The lawsuit has been massively followed by fans of Vitesse in recent weeks. The website of the Public Prosecution Service, where judgments are published, was again overloaded today.

Response Vitesse: ‘This gives us air and perspective’ Vitesse is overjoyed that she was right on Wednesday in the appeal against the KNVB. The Arnhem club hopes to play in the Kitchen Champion Division as soon as possible now that the withdrawal of the professional license has been suspended.

“This statement gives us air and perspective,” says Michel Schaay, chairman of the strong holders of Vitesse, on the club’s site. “We are very happy that the Court acknowledges the seriousness of the situation and that it has suspended the decisions.”

Vitesse will now try to consult the KNVB in the short term about the further consequences of the ruling. “We will continue to commit ourselves to the future of Vitesse,” says Schaay. “Now we first talk to the KNVB to ensure that Vitesse and its stakeholders make the right decisions.” Read the full response here.

Immediately after the ruling there were happy faces at training accommodation Papendal. Fans and player Alexander Büttner celebrate that Vitesse is admitted to professional football.

Due to the ruling of the Court of Appeal, Vitesse can immediately return to professional football. It is not yet clear when Vitesse can participate in the Kitchen Champion Division. That competition has already been on the road for four rounds.

This is why Vitesse has won the appeal: the Court of Appeal considers it “plausible” that the club will win a previously brought soil procedure against the KNVB. At the earliest, that procedure would only serve in a few months, but Vitesse asked for an earlier judgment in a so -called turbo supmoedappel.

According to the Arnhem-Leeuwarden Court of Appeal, the KNVB decisions were “taken under high time pressure and therefore not achieved with the greatest possible care”. And that care was necessary, “because it is the most far -reaching sanction for a professional football club”.
