Joffroy Verplancke (Belgium)

In my case, I became a Schalke supporter when I was a teenager. I discovered Schalke because of Marc Wilmots. Because Wilmots played for Schalke, a national television channel broadcast all of Schalke's European matches. I immediately fell in love with them when I saw the fans and the atmosphere at the Parkstadion!
I've been going to about 8 to 10 matches a year, both home and away, since 2021. I'm also a supporter and season ticket holder for RSC Anderlecht; I live 10 minutes from the stadium. The atmosphere at the Veltins Arena always gives me goosebumps. I love this club and what it represents so much.
