Former footballer Van Beukering banned for 2.5 years after punch at amateur match

Former Feyenoord player Van Beukering banned for 30 months after punching GVVV player Dumay, who suffered seven broken teeth.

Jhon van Beukering, a former professional who played for Feyenoord, NEC and Vitesse, has been suspended for 30 months by the KNVB disciplinary committee following an incident during a second-division match between GVVV and IJsselmeervogels last month. While serving as assistant coach, Van Beukering struck player Quiermo Dumay during half-time, causing seven broken teeth and forcing Dumay to miss approximately one month of football. The punishment exceeds the standard 18-month guideline due to the severity of the injury. Van Beukering has already been dismissed by GVVV, and the club also terminated his brother Dennis, who was head coach.
