Throwback naar de kwartfinales waar een veertigtal enthousiaste Belgische supporters samen met onze Consul Hans de Rode Duivels luid aanmoedigden in de wedstrijd tegen Spanje. Wat was het een fijne avond waar nieuwe en reeds lang in Griekenland verblijvende Belgen elkaar ontmoetten bij, hoe kan het ook anders, een frisse pint!
🍻🇧🇪⚽️
Retour sur les quarts de finale, où une quarantaine de supporters belges enthousiastes ont encouragé avec ferveur les Diables Rouges aux côtés de notre Consul, Hans, lors du match contre l’Espagne.
Quelle belle soirée! Nouveaux arrivants et Belges installés en Grèce depuis de nombreuses années se sont retrouvés et ont partagé un moment convivial autour d’une bonne bière bien fraîche – évidemment ;)
