Father and son from Barcelona enriched by Final Four experience

Dani Gomez brought his 13-year-old son Pol to Belgrade to allow him to experience this unique event.

“We both are big basketball fans, who usually attend Barcelona games at Palau Blaugrana. With all that happened with the pandemic, we wanted to make a trip to follow the team,” Dani revealed. “Now that my son is getting older, it was the perfect opportunity for him to see Belgrade and to cheer for our team together."

Dani knew what to expect as he has been to several Final Fours before and was on hand at both of Barcelona previous triumphs, at home in 2003 and in Paris in 2020.

“To have the opportunity to experience this, to breathe the basketball atmosphere that is typical of this event is something spectacular. You can enjoy the fan zone, for instance, with a lot of fans from other places and see how they respect each other and have fun together. That's something that you rarely see in other sports,” Dani said.

“I think that this is a life-enriching experience that I want to share and transmit to my son, and that’s one of the main reasons I brought him with me. If you put that together with the fact that this year the Final Four is hosted in Belgrade, a place we never visited before, in which we can enjoy the sport we love, you have the perfect mix.”
