More than 40,000 fans voted for this Hall of Fame. “It makes me happy as director,” said Lorin Parys. “Firstly because it makes this Hall of Fame relevant. The legends we have inducted are revered by a wide audience and transcend the colors of their clubs. They have struck a chord with many people. It’s nice to see that the history of our Football still lives on among a younger audience. We have focused heavily on this. We have reached more than 3 million people on social networks.
The campaign around the Hall of Fame was also linked to a social aspect. The Pro League has been collaborating with the Alzheimer’s League since last season. “It can help people with dementia,” said Lorin Parys. “Together we launched the Football Memories project. Football is an emotion and it is linked to strong memories. Memory restoration is one of the most important forms of work to help the 200,000 Belgians who are fighting against this illness. This is why we organize discussion sessions around the history of the clubs.
