VIDEO: Thousands of Hungarian fans march to the stadium of the Hungary-Switzerland match in Cologne

The European Championship started yesterday. The Hungarian national team will start their part of the tournament against Switzerland in Cologne at 3 PM, and thousands of Hungarian fans are already on the spot.

This year as well, Hungarian fans are marching through the host city of the first Hungarian match.

Hungarian fans started to gather in the morning to walk to the RheinEnergie Stadion, two kilometres away. According to Telex, the march must have numbered in the thousands. The march was escorted by police, who pointed out at the beginning that the use of pyrotechnics was prohibited.

As we reported earlier, the Wizz Air flight that was supposed to take Hungarian supporters to Germany was delayed by two hours: it now emerged that the plane landed 1,5 hours after it was supposed to, and the airline also sent buses to pick up fans and take them to Cologne.
