What’s next for STVV Chairman David Meekers after hospitalisation?

David Meekers has been a very important leader at STVV since 2018. He took over as co-director after the Japanese owners asked him to.  He’s been a strong leader, making sure the club is stable and growing. He helped STVV through many challenges, both in the games and outside of them. 

Officials mentioned that he’s been good at managing the money and the team, which is why players, staff, and fans respect him. Now that he’s sick, STVV is unsure what will happen next.  Everyone at the club is hoping for Meekers to get better. Meekers owned his own business and sold it to a company called Moore, but he still works with them.
