    Vitesse were deducted six points for breaking the license requirements set by the Royal Dutch Football Association in September 2024, and were deducted another twenty-one points in November 2024 for multiple violations. In April 2025, Vitesse were deducted three points for withholding information.[1][2][3] Later in April 2025, Vitesse was once again deducted three points due to late submission of required documentation, and another six points due to previous administrative shortcomings. These six points were drawn up in September 2024 as a conditional sanction, but were subsequently put into effect due to failure to comply with the set conditions.[4] Vitesse appealed the decisions of the deductions of the final 12 points, and due to the decision of the rejection of the appeal coming after the end of the season, the penalty was instead moved to next season.[5]
