The European football matches involving Dutch clubs Feyenoord and AZ have been significantly affected by storm Benjamin. Feyenoord's Europa League match against Panathinaikos has been postponed to 21:00 due to extreme weather conditions, with earlier plans to start at 16:30. The decision was made following consultations with UEFA, local authorities, and safety services, as the storm brought heavy winds earlier than expected. Supporters were advised to make their own safety assessments, and those unable to attend can request refunds. Similarly, AZ's Conference League match against Slovan Bratislava, initially scheduled for 21:00, was moved forward to 18:45, and remains unchanged for now. The storm has prompted extensive discussions among club officials, municipal authorities, police, meteorologists, and UEFA about whether the matches can proceed safely. The KNMI issued an orange code for storm warnings in the western coast provinces, with the storm expected to hit earlier than predicted. Despite the weather, other Dutch clubs like Go Ahead Eagles and FC Utrecht are playing their matches as scheduled, with the latter starting at 21:00. The postponements highlight the safety concerns and logistical challenges posed by storm Benjamin, with UEFA's final decision pending on whether the European matches can be played as planned.
