Traveling to Istanbul for a Champions League group-stage match is never simple.
Traveling during a national strike — with Brussels Airport completely closed — should have been impossible. And yet: no delays, no chaos, no excuses. Union SG arrived on time, locked in, ready to make history.
Belgium on Strike. Union Unbothered.
The morning of departure, Belgium stood still.
Brussels Airport shut down, but behind the scenes way2events switched straight to crisis mode: alternative routes, emergency planning, constant coordination with authorities and Union SG.
No last-minute panic, no. Just a controlled, calm departure and a squad that could stick to its match routine.
Upon arrival in Istanbul, our local network took over. The aircraft parked right by customs, extra passport control desks opened just for Union SG, and the entire delegation cleared the airport in minutes.
Zero queues. Zero waiting. Maximum focus.
RAMS Park: Fortress Broken
RAMS Park is one of Europe’s loudest and most intimidating stadiums. Galatasaray hadn’t lost at home in 34 consecutive matches. The noise, colour and pressure can swallow visiting teams whole.
Union SG refused to blink.
They stayed composed and fearless, turning the chaos into fuel — and walked away with a historic win that instantly became one of the standout nights of their Champions League campaign.
Youth League: The Next Generation Delivers
