18 Points Deducted from Vitesse Arnhem

The Dutch football association has deducted 18 points from Vitesse Arnhem, officially confirming the club’s relegation, in the wake of an investigation by the Guardian and the Bureau of Investigative Journalism that uncovered apparent financial ties between the club and the Russian oligarch and former Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich.

While Chelsea and Vitesse were known to have a close relationship, with the London club frequently sending players on loan to its Dutch partner, the two teams had previously denied that the oligarch was involved in funding Vitesse.
