KSC Lokeren
Belgium · Founded: 1923
KSC Lokeren Oost-Vlaanderen was a Belgian football club based in Lokeren, East Flanders, founded in 1923. It played its home matches at the Daknamstadion and was known for its white, black, and yellow colours. The club spent most of its history in the Belgian top division and became a stable mid-to-upper table team over time.
Its strongest period came in the late 1970s and early 1980s, when Lokeren finished second in the Belgian First Division (1980–81), reached the Belgian Cup final, and made a quarter-final run in the UEFA Cup. Later, the club also achieved notable domestic success by winning the Belgian Cup twice, in 2012 and 2014, marking its main trophy successes.
Despite these achievements, financial problems led to the club’s bankruptcy in 2020. It was subsequently merged with KSV Temse, forming a successor club (Lokeren-Temse), while the original Sporting Lokeren identity effectively ceased to exist.
