Dutch football team to send players out onto pitch with lingerie models

We don’t know a lot about Dutch Eerste Divisie club RKC Waalwijk.

We know they play at the Mandemakers Stadium. We know they have the gloriously named Arsenio Valpoort in their squad. And we know they used to have the even more gloriously named Cerezo Fung a Wing.

Now we know one more thing about the club, as it has been announced that they will hold a special Valentine’s event, and the move seems misguided at best.

“The whole evening will be devoted to lingerie alongside football,” RKC spokesman Sander Mijnhijmer is quoted as saying on Dutch news site Omroep Brabant.

Players will take to the field alongside lingerie models, while free attendance will be granted to all women hoping to take in the match against FC Emmen on Valentine’s weekend. It follows a partnership between the club and lingerie company After Eden.

Considering the response to the proposed lingerie football league, we don’t anticipate this going down too well.
