NAC Breda seems to not let it go after the passport gate decision by the KNVB. The club is considering appealing the decision of the football association to not take any action against Go Ahead Eagles. A few weeks ago, NAC Breda made a request to the KNVB to declare the 6-0 loss of NAC against Go Ahead Eagles invalid. According to the current number seventeen of the VriendenLoterij Eredivisie, Dean James would not have been eligible to play. The Indonesian wing defender would not be allowed to work according to Dutch law, which is why NAC Breda made a request to the KNVB. The Dutch football association came out with a statement on Wednesday, stating that no action will be taken. No penalties will be imposed and the match does not need to be replayed. NAC Breda will likely not let it go, according to Joost Blauwhof of Voetbal International. The club would be in consultation with lawyers to see if an appeal still offers possibilities. For De Parel van het Zuiden, the interests are high, especially since winning this case could have an impact on the ranking. The Bredanaars are currently in seventeenth place, which means they miss the play-offs and will have to play in the Keuken Kampioen Divisie next season. The KNVB has indicated that the prosecutor of professional football has decided not to take any disciplinary action. This is because both the player and the club were not aware of the automatic consequences of taking on a different nationality than Dutch. Moreover, it has become clear that the consequences of taking on a different nationality are largely unknown within professional football. NAC Breda will now have to wait and see if an appeal will be successful. The club hopes that the KNVB's decision will be revised and that the match will still have to be replayed. The coming days will make it clear whether NAC Breda will appeal and what the consequences will be for the club. The fans of NAC Breda will undoubtedly follow the developments around the passport gate case. It's an exciting time for the club and the supporters.
