ABC-HOUSE ERFGOEDDAG GAME ON 27th OF APRIL 2025

FOOTBALL!
You either love it or feel nothing for it, but you cannot escape it. It is one of the most popular sports in the world, including in Belgium. Ever since an Irish student introduced the game at a college in Melle in 1863, the ball started rolling here too.
Referees and linesmen, football coaches and supporters, club managers and groundsmen, reporters and canteen managers, drivers and sponsors, stewards and football parents… besides the players, football brings together a whole team of people.
For one day, the ABC House is transformed into a stadium of football.
We weave balls, design new T-shirts for the referees, learn to whistle and toss a coin.
We support the underdog or cheer for happiness, massage our feet, design giant tifos, draw sidelines, goal lines, back lines and centre lines, invent juggling choreographies… and much more.
For families with children from 5 years old, for younger siblings we set up a play area.
