The Dutch football association has postponed the league classic between archrivals Ajax and Feyenoord because of heavy snowfall that has thrown road and rail traffic into chaos.

A win would have taken Ajax level on points - at least briefly - with league leader PSV Eindhoven, which is scheduled to play Roda JC Kerkrade later Sunday.

The Ajax-Feyenoord match will now be played Jan. 19.

The match between VVV-Venlo and FC Utrecht also was postponed because of an unplayable pitch. On Friday, defending league champion FC Twente's clash with Heracles Almelo also was postponed.
