28 May 2014 - Utrecht & Mombasa
The euphoria that had enveloped Utrecht since the historic double victory showed no signs of abating. In fact, it had intensified, weaving itself into the very fabric of the city's identity.
The morning of May 28th brought with it an unprecedented announcement from the Mayor's office: an official municipal holiday had been declared in honor of FC Utrecht's monumental achievement.
The city that had roared with passion and pride would now pause to collectively celebrate, to absorb the magnitude of what their team, led by a seventeen-year-old prodigy, had accomplished.
The proclamation, read from the steps of the city hall, spoke of unity, inspiration, and a renewed sense of civic pride, all thanks to the football club that had dared to dream and the young man who had made those dreams a reality.
