AMSTERDAM (Reuters) - Two more leading Dutch clubs joined champions Ajax Amsterdam in calling for the cancellation of the rest of the season, hours after neighbours Belgium brought their campaign to a close on Thursday.

AZ Alkmaar, who were leading the standings with Ajax when the league was suspended last month because of the coronavirus pandemic, and PSV Eindhoven, champions in 2018 and runners-up last season, added their voices to a call made by Ajax technical director Marc Overmars.

"Plus, there is still a lot of uncertainty about how the virus outbreak will continue to develop,” he added. They echoed the sentiments of Overmars who was irritated by the Dutch football association’s decision to try to complete the campaign, even if it means re-starting as late as mid-June. “An uncompleted competition is unsatisfactory for everybody, players as well as supporters,” Feyenoord technical director Mark Koevermans said.
