JOS Watergraafsmeer was preparing to face professional club NAC in the Eurojackpot KNVB Cup. Tony Tol, the 38-year-old player known on TikTok as Papa Trool, was among those looking forward to the match and described the prospect of a cup upset.
The match was expected to draw far more attention than the team’s usual games, with thousands of people watching rather than the small crowds normally at the touchline.

JOS Watergraafsmeer was preparing to face NAC Breda in the first round of the KNVB Cup on Wednesday evening. The fourth-tier Amsterdam amateur side was to play at AFC’s Sportpark Goed Genoeg rather than its own Sportpark Drieburg, because its lighting did not meet the requirements for television coverage. The club planned to take its match equipment to AFC, along with a large portrait of former JOS coach Rinus Michels. A report also said that the attendance number from the song J.O.S. Days by Nits would be moved to the venue.
