Belgian football is in flux on all fronts. And also tries to keep up with the times by modernizing.
It Latest news knows now that the Belgian Football Association has a first: Paul Van den Bulck (57) has been elected as the first independent chairman. “With his background, legal background as a reputed lawyer and diplomatic nature, he wants to fulfill a role as a bridge builder,” it sounds.
Van den Bulck was also the only candidate to succeed the resigned Mehdi Bayat. But not only because of his independence, his appointment is a historic decision.
He has Congolese roots through his mother and is thus the first chairman with a tan. Perfectly fitting in the picture of more diversity in the highest governing bodies of the union.
Bet HERE on the Red Devils in Wales!
