This morning (18 December), Belgium’s national men’s field hockey team returned from India after their historic World Cup final victory against The Netherlands. Just before 07:00, the team touched down runway 25L on board a Brussels Airlines Airbus A330 (OO-SFY). Today, the Red Lions will meet King Philippe at the Royal Palace and are then celebrated in the Brussels Town Hall.
