Dutch fans line the streets of Hamburg in their thousands ahead of their Euro 2024 opener vs Poland… as ‘CRAZY’ sea of orange goes viral

Holland supporters have taken over Hamburg in dramatic fashion ahead of their opening Euro 2024 game against Poland on Sunday.

The Dutch are in full song and dance as they turn the north German city into a sea of orange, with thousands of supporters packing out the port and its various landmarks.

Holland are aiming to get their European Championship campaign off to a winning start when they take on Poland at the Volksparkstadion and fans are doing their part.

Various snippets of video footage posted on X by Holland’s official national team account shows the outrageous degree of support as fans line the streets and make their voices heard in the build-up to kick-off.

Scotland and Albania have been two of the teams with the most vocal support at the tournament so far, but Holland are making a claim for the loudest fanbase, with viewers astounded by scenes on social media. 

Dutch supporters made their presence felt as a sea of orange took over Hamburg in the build-up to Sunday’s game

There is a heavy police presence in Hamburg but no signs of any trouble with fans in good spirits

A sea of orange has given a vibrant burst of colour to the northern German territory with brilliant images showing the true extent of Dutch support.

The journey from Holland to Germany is a short one across the border and supporters are clearly keen to make their impact seen and heard, even with the national team included in a difficult group alongside Poland, France and Austria.

A heavy police presence is present in Hamburg to deter any signs of trouble but there has been no trouble with both Holland and Poland fans in high spirits. 

One video posted on Sunday morning shows a wide-spanning road packed deep over 100metres with fans decked out in orange shirts, waving Holland flags and jumping from side to side.

The amazing moment showcases the best side of football fans and a catchy tune see’s people jump from side to side while chanting ‘Holland’ at various intervals.

Meanwhile, Dutch supporters inside the fanzone were treated to techno music that encouraged the thousands in attendance to jump around in a bid to keep energy levels high.

Supporters of rival nations applauded the scenes, with one post on X justly calling the demonstration as a ‘movement’.

Another post similarly complimented Holland, adding: ‘Such an amazing enthusiast and electrifying atmosphere is really stunning I love it.’

A translated post hilariously commented on how the Dutch were making so much noise, adding: ‘The Dutch are a bit crazy,’ alongside three laughing emojis.

Holland will get their Euro 2024 campaign underway at 2pm with Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk also skippering the national team.
