Feyenoord has imposed a two-match travelling ban on its away supporters in response to a fireworks-related incident during Sunday's Dutch league game against Cambuur Leeuwarden. The incident, which saw pyrotechnics ignited in the stands, resulted in seven people sustaining injuries and caused a significant delay to the match.
The Rotterdam-based club announced the disciplinary measure on Monday, citing the dangerous conduct that endangered spectators and disrupted the fixture. Club officials determined that the incident warranted swift action to maintain safety standards at away venues.
The decision prevents Feyenoord fans from attending the club's next two away matches in the Eredivisie. The ban represents an escalation in club-level disciplinary responses to fan misconduct, with safety concerns taking precedence over supporter access to matches.
Feyenoord have not indicated whether additional measures or investigations into the incident will be pursued. The club's stance reflects broader efforts across European football to curtail dangerous fan behaviour at matches.
