De Graafschap has imposed provisional local stadium bans on 50 supporters after they blocked the club’s team bus on Sunday, preventing a Dutch second-division match from going ahead.

The club announced the bans on Thursday, according to ANP. The Dutch football association, the KNVB, may later convert them into nationwide bans.

The incident followed a decision on Saturday by Arnhem’s local authorities, police and public prosecution service to bar De Graafschap supporters from attending the away match against Vitesse. Some fans then blocked the bus in protest, and the fixture was called off.
