The Netherlands Cup (KNVB Baker) reached its peak in the semifinals. Among the survivors are three of the best teams in the country, viz ajax, feyenoord and PSV. Surely, the latter will face the great revelation of the tournament of surprises, the Spakenburg Third Division.
the modest group eliminated Utrecht in the quarterfinalswith a win (1-4), and now they face PSV in search of a place in the final on April 30.
However, if it achieves its goal, the date determined for the outcome can be enforced a calendar change. The reason: God.
The presence of Spakenburg may lead to a change of date in the final because this team It is in the Rules not to play on Sundays. The religious nature of the Tercera group prevents them from playing on the Lord’s Day.
“The purpose of the association is the training and promotion of sport in general and football in particular every day of the week, except Sunday,” read the Statutes of the Dutch club.
In case of a surprise against PSV by Xavi Simons and Luuk De Jong, Spakenburg has already asked the Federation to move the final to Saturday, April 29.
In Spakenburg, 60% of the inhabitants are practitioners and the city follows religious rituals of resting on Sunday.
The team is looking for a historic final, although they have to beat PSV first. A difficult challenge, though not for lack of faith.
