The Brussels municipality of Schaarbeek has landed the new national soccer stadium.
The Prime Minister of the Brussels Region, Charles Piqué presented his government's plans for a new national soccer stadium in Brussels to the Capital's Regional Parliament on Wednesday.
The aim is to make the new stadium the new home of the national team, the Red Devils, and also probably the new home of Anderlecht football club. It will be a multifunctional and seat 60,000.
In typical Belgium fashion ........... The political consensus opens the way for talks with all parties involved including the Belgian Railways, the owners of the land.Investors, too, have already come forward.The new stadium will require up to 3 years study work and won't be ready before 2012 at the earliest.
A Hockey Coach, Bernard Devresse, who wanted to propose to his girlfriend in a different way, streaked across the pitch during the Belgium-Armenia football game last week. Needless to say, he is not a hockey coach any more, and he is now without a girlfriend.
