The Dutch football association (KNVB) and Vitesse will try to settle the club’s long-running licence dispute with help from an independent third party, the two organisations said on Tuesday.
In a joint statement, they said they would seek a solution through mutual consultation, but gave no further details. A KNVB spokesperson also declined to identify the third party. Both sides said they would make no further comment while the process is under way.
Vitesse retained its professional football licence after the Supreme Court rejected the KNVB’s appeal in mid-July. However, a substantive court case over the dispute is still ongoing.
