Orange can count on the support of Mop Orchestra ‘t Spult on Saturday at the first European Championship competition. The musicians from Zutphen have been creating the atmosphere during the competitions for years, but that is not always flawless. “Then my trumpet was torn in half.”
Johan Nieuwenhuizen feels flawlessly in the cage stadium in Leeuwarden when he has to take action. In the seventeenth minute of the swinging match, a few supporters carefully put the wave in, on which he immediately gets up and puts his trumpet to his mouth.
Soon the other musicians follow and they play the Melody Hup, Holland Hup . The party in the stands is bursting. It has become a second nature for the musicians of ‘t Spult to put the atmosphere in sold -out stadiums. For their debut we have to go back to 2017, when the European Women’s European Championship was played in the Netherlands.
Through the evening four days of Zutphen ‘t Spult ended up in the stadium for the first time. An alderman from Doetinchem had seen the mop orchestra playing there and thought: I want that before the start of the European Championship matches on the Vijverberg. That was such a success that the KNVB arranged that there were even two trumpet players in at the Oranje competition.
Nieuwenhuizen was one of them and says that they were only allowed to play a short piece four times. “But then I said to the other trumpet player: handsome someone who takes my trumpet, we’ll see what is happening. Well, the first song went all the stadium and that’s how we did the entire game.”
“From we love Oranje to Viva Hollandia , we played everything that had to do with football. In everything we played, that entire stadium went along. The KNVB came directly to us after the game. They said: whatever happens, you will be at every game from now on.”

“That is annoying. If a stadium is completely quiet, then the fun will be finished very quickly,” says Edwin Papen, another trumpet player who is present in Switzerland. But the spult sometimes also has to be careful which song they play. “There was a match for which Germany stood 2-0, so I played all the Germans … Then we immediately received a phone call from the KNVB during the game, that we shouldn’t do that anymore,” says Nieuwenhuizen laughing.
He also assists a moment for a competition in France. During a pee break he gave his wife’s trumpet. “She did not dare to say that she had dropped my trumpet then.
