Netherlands team has reportedly been offered a flight into space by a Dutch aerospace company if coach Louis van Gaal's squad wins the FIFA World Cup in Brazil this summer.
Netherlands advanced to the last 16 stage of the tournament, where they would face Mexico, after a 5-1 thrashing of World Champions Spain followed by two more wins over Australia and Chile.
According to the Mirror, the Group B toppers have been offered a once-in-a-lifetime trip into space by an aerospace company named Ruimtevaartbedrijf SXC as a reward for winning their next four games and lifting the World Cup trophy for the first time in their history.
SXC co-founder Michiel Mol said that as a company of Dutch origin, they are mega proud of the achievements of Oranje in Brazil, adding that an unearthly performance deserves an unearthly reward.
Mol said that they are going to try to take the players literally to a higher level that is 103 kilometers high, adding that they would take the whole section of 23 players and of course Van Gaal.
