Three West Flemish people also play with the national team. One of them, Ilyas Viaene, also scored in the final. With a place ball, he still made a 6-3 lead.
Belgium had already lost to Israel in the group stage, but after victories against Moldova and Bulgaria, the team was allowed to play unexpectedly for gold. Winning the European title did not work: Israel was just a little too strong for the Belgian Sharks.
With the silver medal they can continue to build on the future.
