Willem II reports a loss of about €300,000
Dutch football club Willem II reported a loss of about €300,000 for its latest financial year.
Revenue was more than €17.1 million, down from €18.8 million in the previous season.
The earlier drop from the Eredivisie cut prize money and media income, the club said.
Commercial and match-related income grew, partly offsetting that decline.
Willem II says its financial position remains solid as it pursues its sporting and commercial goals.
The club has since returned to the Eredivisie, where it is currently bottom of the table, and plays Sparta on Saturday.
