The KNVB has condemned the actions of De Graafschap supporters, who blocked the team's bus in Doetinchem, preventing them from reaching the Gelredome stadium. This action was taken in response to the decision by the safety committee in Arnhem to not allow ultras at the match. Manager of competitive affairs Jan Bluyssen has stated that the KNVB must set limits on such actions, describing them as "crazy". The incident is now being submitted to the disciplinary bodies of the football association, with the outcome of any potential sanctions for De Graafschap to be determined by the relevant authorities.
