If the women of PSV become national champions this coming Saturday, they should also be celebrated at the Eindhoven town hall, according to the local factions of GroenLinks and PvdA.
The women have the opportunity to become champions for the first time on Saturday. This weekend marks the final matchday. PSV has the same number of points as league leaders FC Twente. The Tukkers will face AZ, while the Eindhoven women will take on Feyenoord.
Equal recognition
According to GroenLinks and PvdA, the women deserve an official and festive celebration in the city centre, just like the men. “When the men became champions last year, there was a celebration at the town hall. Equal treatment and recognition are important, especially in the world of sport,” say councillors Lotte Meerhoff and Patrick van Tuijn.
“We must show as a city that we are proud of all champions, regardless of gender. This is an inspiring moment for the city,” adds PvdA faction leader Van Tuijn. How the potential celebration will look is still unclear.
National titles
There is a chance that both the men’s and women’s PSV teams could become champions on the same weekend. Following last weekend, the men also made a serious claim to the title again. A decision for men in the Eredivisie will likely be made on Sunday.
Last weekend, the women of PSV had to bow to their rivals FC Twente. In the cup final, the score was 1-2 in favour of the Tukkers.
