Derksen and Woerts Dismiss FC Utrecht Women's Protest

Johan Derksen and Chris Woerts publicly condemned the protest by the FC Utrecht women's team. Their statements were made in reaction to the club's decision to reduce funding for the women's side.

FC Utrecht announced a budget cut for its women's department earlier this week. The announcement triggered a collective protest from the players.

Derksen said he could not comprehend the reasons behind the players' demonstration. He described the protest as unnecessary.

Woerts echoed Derksen's view, stating that the players' actions made no sense to him. He added that the club's financial decision should be accepted.

The players maintain that the cuts jeopardize the development of women's football at the club. No further details on the magnitude of the cuts were disclosed.

FC Utrecht has not yet responded to the comments from Derksen and Woerts. The situation may influence future discussions on funding for women's squads.
