It is not with lightness of heart that we made the decision to stop a newspaper that you appreciate and that we had fun concocting. This ultimate collector’s issue is there to remind us of the dozens of events that have run through our pages for more than two decades. Sporting emotions, dramas, joys, weddings, miscellaneous facts, exploits.
Today, we turn a page but to open another. Bigger, more open to the world, more fun. Indeed, from Sunday July 2, find everything you like and even more on our website www.dh.be. More journalists will be on the ground to make you vibrate and make you live the news.
There is no question of depriving yourself of the Sunday sections that have marked all these years and to which you are attached. The royalties of Régine Salens, the nostalgia for public transport of yesteryear by Philippe Touwaide, the sometimes acidic sports chronicle of Jean-Marc Ghéraille and the new psycho-toyenne chronicle of Elodie Wijmeels will always be present. Just click on www.dh.be
Sports department, the Last Hour, indisputable number one in sport, will be more than ever on all terrains. With hot news and the latest club news, live highlights of Sunday’s matches, analyses, reactions and debates. Without forgetting our Red Devils active in the biggest foreign championships or the English, Italian, French, German or Spanish clashes.
Other appointments are currently in the making and should land at the start of the school year.
We separate here. Not without a tear in his eye. Thank you again for your loyalty.
Sports as a driving force for DHDD
Sport was the engine of its start, at the heart of Euro 2000. And was its fuel for more than two decades.
On Sunday June 12, 2000, the Devils greeted the birth of this DH of the 7th day by a success, the day before, against Sweden during the opening match of this European football championship co-organized by our country and the Netherlands. The Internet had not yet invaded our daily lives (the site DH. be appeared on our screens a few weeks earlier).
The Sunday edition of La DH quickly established itself in the media landscape, thanks to the sports fever of Saturday evenings. The coronations of Justine Henin and Kim Clijsters on the courts, the Olympic gold medals (in Rio, in particular, in 2016, when Greg Van Avermaet then Nafissatou Thiam chose a Saturday to shine), the exploits of our footballers such as the bronze of the Devils at the 2018 World Cup, etc. Sunday was often the day of the lords of sport, and The DH-Sports + is proud to have written down their joys but also their sorrows…
