FC Utrecht has announced that it will invest less money in women's football after this season. This decision has led to protests from players, who took to the field wearing shirts that read 'We do not fit in the budget'. The club is parting ways with nine players, including Marthe Munsterman and Tami Groenendijk, whose contracts will not be renewed. The players point to the club's financial choices as the cause of this situation. Manager Marlou Peeters confirmed that budget cuts are necessary for the viability of the women's team. The Utrecht women's team will move to the complex of amateur club VV De Meern after the summer, which is also a sign of the financial challenges. This season, the team played home matches at Sportpark Zoudenbalch and in De Galgenwaard.
