The tribute celebrates a decade since the inception of the Brussels based supporters group.
The event is set to commence at 1100 CET in the famous Grand Place square in the Belgian capital where the mini-kit will be formally taken to the statue to dress the iconic figure
The parade will pass along the touristic Rue de l'Etuve along to the Rue de Chene where the statue is located. At approximately midday, the Brussels municipal orchestra will play the Atleti club anthem as the statue is dressed in the famous red and white shirt with the event to be attended by representatives from the LaLiga side and the Spanish embassy based in Brussels.
