N.E.C. Nijmegen is preparing for the Champions League. Despite the fact that football at NEC is currently at a standstill, the organization of the club is working harder than ever. For the preliminary round of the Champions League, many practical things need to be arranged, explains general director Wilco van Schaik. The club must adapt to the demands of the Champions League. Wilco van Schaik explains that the club is not yet ready for the Champions League. A lot of space is needed for the media. The club will have to use the entire forecourt. Multiple business rooms are also required. The differences between the Europa League and the Champions League are bizarre. If N.E.C. Nijmegen wins the preliminary round match, they will receive 4.5 million euros. The club is working hard to prepare for the Champions League. Other directors agree with Van Schaik. A lot is being asked of a club like N.E.C. Nijmegen. Jan Willem van Dop, general director of Go Ahead Eagles, chimes in and says that the requirements for the Champions League are very high. N.E.C. Nijmegen must adapt to these requirements to be successful in the Champions League. The club has already had two UEFA officials visit to inspect the stadium. The Champions League is really a completely different level than the Europa League. N.E.C. Nijmegen must prepare well to be successful.
