Last Week’s Life After Football x GASSAN Football Quiz in Rotterdam

On May 14th, 2025, Life After Football once again proved that football culture doesn’t end at the final whistle. In collaboration with our long-standing partner Gassan, we hosted an exclusive Football Quiz Night — an evening filled with friendly competition, good energy, and an unforgettable blend of sport, lifestyle, and connection.

From the start, the event delivered a special kind of atmosphere. Held in an intimate setting, the night welcomed a curated guest list featuring (former) professional footballers, entrepreneurs, and close friends of both brands. Divided into four teams, the guests put their football knowledge to the test under the sharp yet charming guidance of quiz moderator Hans Jörgen Nicolaï. Throughout the rounds, the questions sparked laughter, debate, and even a few surprising facts, creating a spirited atmosphere where passion for the game took center stage.

To elevate the mood even more, a few well-known former footballers made an appearance, instantly raising the energy in the room. Meanwhile, classic match highlights played on screen, prompting stories to resurface, smiles to widen, and memories to flow — reminding everyone why football holds such a timeless place in our hearts. The mix of generations created a vibe that felt equal parts nostalgic and electric.

As the quiz unfolded, the competition stayed fierce but friendly — and the rewards were well worth it. The winning team took home a unique prize: an exclusive Montblanc pen, adding a touch of sparkle to their victory. While the winner of the evening, Jean-Rene Meenhuis, took home a Montblanc suitcase additionally to the exclusive Montblanc pen. Throughout the entire evening, guests enjoyed top-tier hospitality with delicious food, flowing drinks, and the kind of company that makes a Wednesday evening feel like a celebration.

Ultimately, from laid-back smiles to quiz-time intensity, this Football Quiz wasn’t just another event — it was a perfect example of how we create unique experiences that bring the Life After Football community together. By blending exclusivity with authenticity, we delivered a night that will stay with everyone long after the final question.
