Tony Demelinne is a proud ambassador for the Jeugdfonds Sport & Cultuur Fryslân (Frisian Youth Fund for Sports and Culture). As an ice hockey player for Unis Flyers, he experiences the value of sports every day. But back then, it wasn't a given: "If I hadn't made the first team at 12, my parents wouldn't have been able to afford my sport."

Now, as an ambassador, he's committed to giving all children the opportunity to join a club, even if they don't have enough money at home. Because sports should be accessible to everyone!

At Unis Flyers, the top club in the vibrant Thialf neighborhood, Tony can pursue his passion. And he wants every child to have that opportunity.
