Dutch club Alkmaar said on Saturday that the roof of its stadium, built in 2006, was damaged by strong winds that hit the ground in all respects.

Alkmaar said in a statement: "There fell a small part of the roof of our stadium, which can seat 17,000 spectators, and, thank God, we had no match today, which prevented a disaster. "

Fortunately for Alkmaar and his fans that their next match will be played, they will face Valvik on Sunday, but will on Tuesday receive the Ukrainian Mariupol team, in the third round of the European Football League, but the first leg has ended up a draw and a blank.
