Every time a major tournament rolls around, every countries fan base sets out on claiming the title of ‘best fans’.
But many do it like the Dutch, every major tournament a sea of orange washes over the host country’s streets.
They are unmissable decked out in their bright orange outfits, roaring from the top of their lungs as they descend on various stadiums to support their country.
The mass of orange is spearheaded by a bright double-decker bus, which has become a staple figure at every major tournament march which the Dutch have featured in over the past two decades.
The bus has travelled from Sheffield to Sao Paulo and now to Dortmund.

The bus has become a staple part of Dutch preparation for major tournaments
The bright orange double-decker, a 1980 rear-engined Bristol VRT will arrive in the West Germany City, along with a staggering 75,000 Dutch fans for their semi-final clash against England.
The bus was originally bought by Harm Otten, a HR manager at DHL and his friends back in 2004 for the the Euros taking place the same year, which were set in Portugal.
Speaking about the bus, Otten said ‘We’ve become the symbol of our supporters’.
Although it was never Otten’s intention revealing that ‘It was just a silly idea 20 years ago.’
However due to the enormous size and obnoxiously loud colour of the bus, it quickly gained the attention of many at the tournament, making it an instant hit with not only the Dutch fans but everybody.
The bus became even more iconic when the Dutch Football Association suggested to Otten and Co that the bus should lead the fan parades to stadium at the tournament in 2004.
And since then, the bus has played an instrumental role in all stadium marches.
Thus beginning a two-decade long tradition, which has seen the bus driven on the streets of Sao Paulo, Sheffield, Kharkiv and Qatar.
The tradition will continue today at around 4pm local time (3pm BST) as the Dutch fans are set to complete a two-mile long march from the designated fan zone on Dortmund’s Friedensplatz to the Westfalenstadion.

It is expected that 60,000 Dutch fans will participate in the march to Signal Iduna Park

Their wild chants have even captured the hearts of German fans, who previously had little time for their neighbours at tournaments
Also featuring in the parade will be Rob Kemps, a 38-year-old comedian and lead singer of the Snollebollekes.
His 2015 party song, Links Rechts (Left Right), has become the theme tune of the nation’s tournament.
To Kemp’s command, the Dutch fans jump in unison delight creating waves of orange in the German towns they have descended on thus far in the tournament.

Due to their close proximity to the German City, it is expected that over 60,000 fans will march on the streets of Dortmund despite not having a ticket to the game, compared to the 1,000 English fans, expected to show without a ticket.
The Dutch fans presence in Signal Iduna Park won’t be missed as the ‘Yellow Wall’ which has become an iconic imagery in the Bundesliga thanks to the Borussia Dortmund fans will transform in an orange wall on Wednesday night.
