A ban on artificial turf in the Eredivisie is provisionally excluded. In particular, Heracles Almelo is worried and even threatened to go to sports court. Eredivisie's CV is currently working on a compromise, reports Algemeen Dagblad
Only clubs playing on natural grass can count on a portion of European football revenue from 2021, while synthetic turf clubs get nothing. Ten percent of European revenues must be divided among the grass clubs. Under the current circumstances, this would mean that about nine million euros (ten percent of the 90 million euros in revenues of the PSV and the Ajax Champions League) would be distributed among the ten other natural grass clubs.
The reward can reach one million. by season by club. CV Eredivisie hopes to reach an agreement with the eighteen clubs this week. However, a general ban is thwarted. To the disappointment of most clubs, Heracles plays an important role in this regard. The club Almelose "refused to bow, despite the concrete proposal of the best clubs to financially compensate the smaller clubs," says AD . The Heracians have even threatened legal action.
Many clubs are unhappy with the attitude of Heracles in particular, say insiders to the newspaper. Clubs such as ADO Den Haag and PEC Zwolle are ready to think and switch to natural grass. The discussion on artificial turf is part of the "change agenda", which should allow Eredivisie to better withstand the future.
