FRIDAY’S FRIENDLY BETWEEN the Netherlands and France will be stopped in the 14th minute for a minute’s silence in honour of Johan Cruyff.
The Dutch football association announced the tribute after Cruyff died earlier on Thursday at the age of 68 after a battle with cancer.
The legendary footballer wore the number 14 on his Ajax and Dutch national shirt during his glittering playing career.
Before the match, a minute’s silence will also be observed in memory of the victims of the Brussels attacks on Tuesday.
