Kansas City will host six matches, including a quarterfinal.
“We are so proud to be able to host matches, let alone six matches and a quarterfinal,” said Kathy Nelson, CEO of the KC Sports Commission. “To now have three of the biggest names in a global sport based in Kansas City is almost surreal.”
The Dutch Orange Bus will join fans for a march downtown before the team takes on Tunisia.
“It’s all party, A to Z. A lot of fun,” said Michiel van Wijk of the Dutch Orange Bus Association. “That way it doesn’t matter if you win or lose. You already had the party.”
