“It would of course be magnificent if future Devils or Flames took their first steps here,” Dembélé said in a press release from the Belgian Union. “But the most important thing is that young people have a place where they can meet up with their friends and have fun practicing their favorite sport.”
Onzia stressed that “more and more girls were finding their way to the football field, but also to neighborhood fields. I therefore hope that this Red Court will give them the confidence to pursue their dreams. in any case a magnificent initiative, because on the Red Court, your origins or your status do not matter. The love of football unites us all.
The Belgian Red Courts project consists of renovating 40 football fields with the aim of promoting local social cohesion. Each field has one or more ambassadors, who play or have played with the Red Devils or the Red Flames.
Red Courts have already been opened in Genk, Halle, Hasselt, Lier, Lokeren, Sint-Niklaas, Vilvoorde, Waregem and Westerlo.
