The day the King came to Only Friends

On a Wednesday afternoon in February 2025, King Willem-Alexander visited Only Friends at the Friendship Sports Centre in Amsterdam-Noord. He put on boxing gloves, won a racerunning race, and told the room he could not imagine anyone leaving this place unmoved. This is the story of the club, the day, and the work behind the scenes that let it feel like just another afternoon at the club.
