Feyenoord vs Panathinaikos: Match Time Changed Due to Weather

Robin van Persie's side will kick-off earlier this afternoon

Feyenoord's Europa League match against Panathinaikos has been moved forward due to severe weather warnings in Rotterdam.

“Feyenoord realises that this change is very last-minute and may affect existing plans, especially for supporters with tickets...”

Feyenoord's Europa League match against Panathinaikos has been brought forward to 4:30 p.m. (1430 GMT) from the original 6:45 p.m. kickoff due to severe weather warnings. Authorities requested the change after forecasters issued a Code Orange alert for strong winds exceeding 100 km/h in Rotterdam.

The Dutch club confirmed that fans unable to attend can request refunds, with details to be shared next week. Feyenoord considers this a case of force majeure, acknowledging that the last-minute change may affect existing plans, especially for supporters with tickets.

However, latest updates suggest the match might be postponed or rearranged again due to Storm Benjamin's impact, with options being discussed for a possible kickoff on Friday at 12:00 or Thursday at 21:00. The situation is being closely monitored, and a final decision is expected soon.

Feyenoord - Panathinaikos wordt vervroegd naar 16:30 uur. Dit gebeurt op last van de autoriteiten, vanwege het extreme weer dat voor morgenavond wordt verwacht.
