PEC Zwolle seeks KNVB help after IJsselderby unrest

PEC Zwolle wants to work with a KNVB taskforce to identify individuals who misbehaved during the IJsselderby. The match between Go Ahead Eagles and PEC started 97 minutes late, after dozens of PEC fans refused to remove their face-covering clothing.

What happened?

The club has requested all footage taken during the departure in Zwolle, arrival in Deventer, and in the away section. This footage will be reviewed in the coming period.

Why is this important for PEC Zwolle?

Ultimately, the match was played without PEC fans. The riot police eventually cleared the section. Go Ahead Eagles won 5-0, the largest victory in the IJsselderby in the history of the two clubs.

What's next?

PEC Zwolle is doing everything to identify the individuals who wore face-covering clothing. The club has submitted a request to the KNVB for the deployment of a taskforce team.

PEC Zwolle currently stands 15th in the Eredivisie with 37 points, 9 wins, 10 draws, and 15 losses. The team's recent form has been poor, with 1 win and 4 losses in the last 5 matches.
