Fan exotics in Pardubice. We enjoy it, say Brazilian fans

Fans from Brazil certainly were one of those with long road ahead. “We came here only from Germany. The bus journey took us around 10 hours,” say two Brazilian fans living in the country right next to the Czech Republic.

Organizers try to improve fan´s experience with special events and in turn, some of these return on regular basis. “Our first tournament we have visited was way back in 2002. Since then, we go every year,” say Brazilians. “We support Brazil very much. Unfortunately we lose lot of games, but we take it as it is and enjoy it anyway!”

When asked about any surprise team of the tournament, most fans have a clear team in mind. “Latvia!” claim Croatian fans in the stands. “They beat a much better team in the quarterfinals and it is a big surprise,” they add. Another thing in common is the general praise of the tournament and the organization in Pardubice. “The Czech Republic is a beautiful country and we meet very friendly people here. It is beautiful and we will want to come back. We have been to Prague on Tuesday and it is also great,” add these happy fans.
