The European Championship qualifier between the Dutch under-17 players' team and Turkey in 's-Gravenzande on Sunday was dedicated to 100 years of friendship between the countries. Football can inspire, bridge differences and change the world. This shared passion brings both nations closer together.
Prior to the match, Head of Corporate Affairs & Social Impact David Pranger (KNVB), Ambassador Selçuk Ünal (Turkey) and Deputy Director Europe Mauritz Verheijden (Foreign Affairs) gave a speech in which they talked about the talented footballers, the rapid development of women's football and the hundred years of friendly relations between the countries.
