Fifteen years ago, the dream of a 16-year-old Romelu began. The striker broke through in the first team of RSC Anderlecht while still working hard to earn his diploma. In De school van Lukaku, a camera crew followed Romelu’s class, capturing everything from his first math lesson to a school trip to Chelsea’s stadium. The full series is now available on Mauve TV, with the first episode free to watch.
Romelu Lukaku turns 32 today. We take a step back to where it all started — when 16-year-old Romelu was dreaming of everything ‘Big Rom’ would go on to achieve. De school van Lukaku follows the young striker as he relentlessly chases his dreams. At that time, Romelu had just become a professional player while also finishing high school through the ‘Purple Talent’ program. Originally broadcast by VRT, the series is now exclusively available again on Mauve TV. It shows how Romelu juggled the heavy demands of school and football — and made it work.
All episodes of De school van Lukaku are now available on Mauve TV. The first episode is free to watch.
