We watched the Belgium-Austria match at the King's Stadium, and it was disappointing to see such a poorly maintained stadium in the heart of Europe. The food and drink queues at the stadium were extremely long, and they only accepted a special card issued by the Belgian Football Federation for payment. You had to purchase this card, load it with money, and then join different queues to make purchases using this card for food and beverages. You would wait in line for a hamburger, then leave and join another line for drinks. In all my years of going to matches and stadiums, I have never seen such a disorganized and illogical system.
Due to the running track, you were quite far from the field, making it less enjoyable to watch the game. The match ended in a 1-1 draw, but at least we had the chance to see Lukaku's goal on the big screen. The stadium had easy transportation options, and we returned to our hotel using electric scooters, which was the most enjoyable part of the evening, riding through empty streets on scooters at midnight. I was going to give 1 star but gave 3 stars because of kind and friendly Belgian fans.
