FC Groningen in the “earthquake jersey” at cup games: “Set the signal”

“FC Groningen want to send a clear signal that they sympathize with the victims.” The Eredivision team wants to do this by playing their cup games this season in a special ‘torn’ black jersey that hints at the earthquake problem.

The province has been hit by earthquakes for years. “The club would like to use its national reach to draw particular attention to the suffering of people who are victims of earthquakes in the club’s catchment area,” said FC Groningen in a statement.

For FC Groningen, the cup tournament starts on Wednesday evening at FC Dordrecht. Frank Wormuth’s team will have to do without Tomas Suslov. Last weekend he suffered an ankle injury against FC Twente (0-3).

The Groninger have had an unlucky season so far with just eight meager points. “Tomas falls between six and eight weeks,” said Wormuth on Tuesday. A bitter loss, because Suslov was one of the strongholds within FC Groningen.
