FC Twente Championship

Enschede or actually the entire Twente region celebrated the championship of its soccer team with a massive two-day celebration, marking the first time in history FC Twente earned the title of national champions. An estimated 40,000 fans flooded the Old Market and Van Heekplein, leaving behind a blanket of paper debris, special editions of the Tubantia and piles of plastic beer cups. For the occasion, brewery Grolsch has created a special beer called “Trots” (the Dutch word for proud) which is available at most supermarkets.
