- King Power offer reciprocal matchday experience to fans of Leicester City and OH Leuven- Belgian club was acquired by Leicester City’s owners earlier this year- A group of lucky City fans to travel to OHL match on 12 November- OHL fans to visit King Power Stadium in January- Leicester Vice Chairman hopes experience can lead to a special bond between fans
Owners of Leicester City since 2010, King Power acquired Belgian second-division club OH Leuven in June 2017.
And to introduce the supporters of two of their beloved clubs, Vichai and Aiyawatt Srivaddhanaprabha are giving a group of lucky fans from both Leicester City and OHL the chance to take in the King Power experience on the other side of the channel.
On the morning of Sunday 12 November, two coaches filled with City fans will depart Leicester for the picturesque Belgian city of Leuven, where they will be special guests at OHL’s King Power at Den Dreef Stadium for the Proximus League clash with SV Roeselare later that evening.
The trip will include a ticket for the match and overnight accommodation ahead of the party’s return to Leicester on Monday 13 November.
Foxes fans are sure to be in for a warm welcome and will have their chance to return the hospitality early in 2018, when a similar contingent of OHL fans head for Leicester’s King Power Stadium for the Premier League visit of Watford on 20 January*.
Leicester City Vice Chairman Aiyawatt Srivaddhanaprabha said: “We feel very privileged to be the owners of two great football clubs – both with passionate, positive supporters who are a huge part of their respective club’s identity.
“The opportunity to bring that passion together and to hopefully create a special bond between the two sets of fans is really exciting, so we’re delighted to offer this opportunity to supporters of both clubs.”
