Belgian football faces some serious challenges. The certainties that exist must also be taken with a grain of salt for Walter Damen.
Belgian football has to deal with some solid files and since this week sponsorship by gambling companies has also been added.
The Pro League is therefore facing challenging times. “There is no clarity about additional tax levies, the same for the competition formula, sponsorship options, the formation of 1B, and so on,” says Walter Damen in Gazet van Antwerpen.
The World Cup in Qatar at the end of this year will also provide the necessary fodder for discussions. “Add to that a World Cup that will shut down part of the competition in an unusual period and you come to the conclusion that the entire football world is sinking more and more into quicksand of financial opportunism and ethical spreads.”
Damen concludes with a hefty dose of sarcasm. “Fortunately, our competition is still fair. Just halve the points and away the deserved champion”, it still sounds.
