What should have been a festive afternoon of soccer in Geesteren on Saturday was unfortunately marred by an accident, involving one of our cranes.
When the STEVO and FC Twente players arrived, the banner with the scaffolding fell over supporters standing behind one of the goals.
We are in contact with the supporters who organized the atmosphere action and the various authorities. Our involved employees are being offered the necessary assistance.

For now, our full attention goes to the supporters who were injured, our staff and others directly involved.

Addendum 25-June-2024;
Justice, in cooperation with the Criminal Investigation Department, is investigating how this could have happened.
In order not to hinder the investigation and to avoid speculation, we cannot yet make any statements of our own about the facts.

Update 17-Jan-2025
The Public Ministry reports:
No persons will be criminally prosecuted as a result of the accident with the banner that came down before the start of the Stevo-FC Twente match in Geesteren (Overijssel) on June 22 last year. The case against the person identified as a suspect, namely the crane operator, has been dismissed by the East Netherlands Public Prosecutor's Office.
