Racism
During the 2012–13 KNVB Cup quarter-final match against AZ, American forward Jozy Altidore was the target of racist chants. The club's director, Peter Bijvelds, blamed "malicious supporters making a scandalous mess of the evening". He said Den Bosch, Arizona and the referee considered abandoning the match, but decided against it.[1]
"We can't deny that, certainly when we play top matches, we have a structural problem with a group of people who ruin things", Bijvelds told Dutch radio.
This racial incident, however, was a minor one, and gravely offended the vast majority of Den Bosch supporters.[citation needed] Following this incident, the club and fans went on a series of actions to rectify the image of the club and re-instate their strong stance against any forms of racism. Evident to this was a campaign launched by the club to equip a village in Africa with football kits and football equipment.[citation needed]
