Equal Distribution of Money, Otherwise No Sponsorship
Major league clubs sponsored by ABN AMRO will still have to divide the budget of top hockey fifty-fifty between men and women from 2025. The bank will not enter into a new agreement as a partner of top hockey with clubs that do not do so. With this, ABN AMRO continues to adhere to the hard demand that it first expressed two and a half years ago.
Let’s get the facts straight first. ABN AMRO sponsors six clubs and eight teams in the Men’s and Women’s Tulp Hoofdklasse: Amsterdam (m/f), Rotterdam (m/f), Bloemendaal (m), Oranje-Rood (m), SCHC (f) and Little Switzerland ( v). All these clubs support the demand for equal budgets, the bank says. Because it is logical that a team at a lower level works with a lower budget, ABN AMRO’s condition will only apply from 2025 to the clubs that play in the Dutch big league with both flag teams at that time. This is currently the case at four of the six clubs. Not only at SCHC and Orange-Red. The men of SCHC and the women of Oranje-Rood play in the Promotion Class this season.
