If you’ve never heard of the Dutch Oranje Bus, or if you love combining your footy fandom with an amazing party - boy are you in for a treat! In today’s episode Colin sits down with Henk van Beek, a founding member of the association that started the Dutch Oranje Bus, the ultimate fan experience of the KNVB (we think). Colin and Henk discuss the bus’s experiences in Europe, what it takes to ship the bus abroad (it’s been to several World Cups), and touchingly, Henk’s experience with the bus in Ukraine for the 2012 Euros. Be sure to listen until the end, when Henk delivers a great message for all footy travelers, but especially those heading to World Cup 2026.
