European amateur football updates: DVS’33 and ASV Geel prepare for matches

In the Dutch Derde Divisie A, DVS’33 Ermelo seeks to end a winless start to the season during their upcoming away match against ACV in Assen. After losses to SC Genemuiden and Harkemase Boys, the Ermelo-based team, led by Matthijs Blijham, aims to utilize their technical attacking style to secure their first points. They face a strong ACV side that has won its first two matches without conceding a goal.

In the Belgian 3de amateur B league, ASV Geel is preparing for its season opener against Huldenberg this Saturday. The league's start was disrupted for some teams; specifically, the derby between Turnhout and Geel was postponed to September 30 due to organizational and safety concerns, leaving Geel effectively starting with a three-point deficit relative to other teams. Despite this, coach Niels Houbener expressed confidence, noting the recent signing of striker Ibrahima Mbaye from Rupel Boom to bolster the squad.
