Rakt 51°40′35″N 5°34′55″E / 51.67639°N 5.58194°E is a village in the municipality of Uden, North Brabant, Netherlands. The site of a famous windmill, Molen van Jetten (built in 1811 and moved to its current location in 1900), Rakt is also home to FC de Rakt, an amateur football club founded in 1968 with its homeground at the Moleneind, below the mill. Each year the club organises a football tournament in the fields surrounding the mill.[1]
FC de Rakt
In September 2008 the FC de Rakt women's team (FC de Rakt DA1) made international headlines by swapping its old kit for a new one featuring short skirts and tight-fitting shirts.[2] This innovation, which had been requested by the team itself, was initially vetoed by the KNVB (Dutch football association) on the grounds that according to the rules of the game shorts must be worn by all players, both male and female; but this decision was reversed when it was revealed that the FC de Rakt team were wearing hot pants under their skirts, and were therefore technically in compliance. Denying that the kit change is merely a publicity stunt, club chairman Jan van den Elzen told Reuters:
The girls asked us if they could make a team and asked specifically to play in skirts. We said we'd try but we didn't expect to get permission for that. We've seen reactions from Belgium and Germany already saying this could be something for them. Many girls would like to play in skirts but didn't think it was possible.
21-year-old team captain Rinske Temming said:
We think they are far more elegant than the traditional shorts and furthermore they are more comfortable because the shorts are made for men. It's more about being elegant, not sexy. Female football is not so popular at the moment. In the Netherlands there's an image that it's more for men, but we hope that can change.
