TICKETS : BELGIUM – BAHRAIN

After their win on Sunday, the Red Wolves have a chance of reaching the second round, but we are not there yet so we remain cautious.
On the other hand, the ticket sale for the second round has started and it is going very, very fast. Belgians who want to come to Malmö we would advise not to wait too long, as tickets for Saturday’s matches are already sold out.  In the first round Belgium plays in Group H.
