30,000 tickets sold for the group stage: European Championship fever rages around the Red Devils | soccer

After the disappointment of the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, where the Red Devils were unable to survive the group stage, Domenico Tedesco made a change in style of play. The qualifying campaign went well and Belgium head into Euro 2024 full of hope. Good results and a generational change with Trossard, Doukou and Bakayoko, among others, have reignited enthusiasm around the national team. But non-athletic factors also play a role.

The fact that the Belgians' opening match in Frankfurt will be held only about 400 kilometers from Brussels is accelerating ticket sales. It's not a long trip to St. Petersburg or Copenhagen, where the Belgians played their group stage matches at the European Championship in 2020. The three matches against Slovakia, Romania and Bosnia/Israel/Iceland/Ukraine will be played in neighboring Germany. This means that the counter has already reached 30 thousand tickets sold. Suitable for 10,000 fans per match.

The Belgian Football Association has also rolled up its sleeves in recent months. Since Qatar's World Cup disappointment, the Brazilian Football Confederation has launched several actions as part of the #WirSchaffenDas campaign. All with the goal of putting the pro first again. “With this campaign, we are fanning the flames of the team and the fans,” CEO Manu Leroy said in an RBFA press release. “The special tifo containing 23 thousand signatures against Sweden, and the drawings against Azerbaijan, Red Wall against Austriathe Red Devil Express For the trip to Germany… We wanted to restore contact with the fans, and our actions were aimed at that. We've already seen a lot of enthusiasm in the run-up to Euro 2024, so responding to that was a good idea.

Today the Brazilian Football Confederation launched another campaign where fans can participate in the official song of the European Championship.
