Racism
During the 2012–13 KNVB Cup quarter-final match against AZ, American forward Jozy Altidore was the target of racist chants. The club's director, Peter Bijvelds, blamed "malicious supporters making a scandalous mess of the evening". He said Den Bosch, AZ and the referee considered abandoning the match, but decided against it.
"We can't deny that, certainly when we play top matches, we have a structural problem with a group of people who ruin things," Bijvelds told Dutch radio.
This racial incident, however, was a minor one, and gravely offended the vast majority of Den Bosch supporters. Following this incident, the club and fans went on a series of actions to rectify the image of the club and re-instate their strong stance against any forms of racism. Evident to this was a campaign launched by the club to equip a village in Africa with football kits and football equipment.
