Vitesse Arnhem celebrate after reprieve reinstates them into Dutch league
Vitesse Arnhem, a Dutch football club, faced a significant setback when the Royal Dutch Football Association (KNVB) decided to revoke their professional license. The club's ties to Roman Abramovich, a Russian businessman, led to an investigation by the KNVB. Experts believed Vitesse had only a 1% chance of survival, and the club appeared to be facing relegation to amateur football. However, an appeals court has now ruled against the KNVB's decision, granting Vitesse a dramatic reprieve and allowing them to continue competing in the Dutch league. The club's supporters, who had been resigned to the prospect of at least one season away from professional football, can now look forward to watching their team play again. The reversal of the KNVB's decision has come as a surprise and a relief to the club and its fans.
