Go Ahead Eagles director Jan Willem van Dop has affirmed that Dean James remains a Dutch citizen amid NAC Breda's protest over his administrative status in the March 15, 2026 Eredivisie match. NAC seeks to have the 6-0 loss declared invalid, claiming James's switch to Indonesian citizenship affects his non-EU player status. Van Dop dismissed the claim as a points-grabbing attempt.
