Arno Vermeulen, a well-known face on Studio Voetbal, has confirmed that the programme has been removed from television due to budget cuts at the public broadcaster. Vermeulen, who was a regular on the show, stated that he found it unfortunate that the programme never received attention in their own show. The programme has indeed been cancelled, as Vermeulen himself mentioned, due to the public broadcaster's budget cuts. Vermeulen has never had any issues with the nickname 'De Witte Chinees', which he has worn with pride. He remains optimistic, stating that Studio Voetbal will return, either on television or another platform, within a year.
