Sections of the Den Haag home support were alleged to have made racist chants during the game against Ajax on January 17. Ajax's 19-year-old mid-fielder Riechedly Bazoer said after the game he had been subject to some of the abuse and had brought it to the attention of the referee. The KNVB began a probe into the events, while Den Haag said they had identified 22 people involved.
On Tuesday, the KNVB proposed a fine of 10,000 euros (£7,800), of which half would be suspended for a year.
