Leeuwen KSK Beveren
Belgium · Founded: 1934
KSK Beveren was a Belgian professional football club based in Beveren, East Flanders, founded in 1934 and officially registered in 1935. Known for its yellow and blue colors, the club played its home matches at the Freethiel Stadium and developed a strong local identity despite representing a relatively small municipality.
The club enjoyed its greatest success in the late 1970s and early 1980s, winning two Belgian league titles (1979, 1984) and two Belgian Cups. It became the first champion from East Flanders and was often nicknamed “the little Anderlecht” due to its attractive style of play and competitive performances.
From the late 1990s onward, Beveren faced financial difficulties that led to a decline, culminating in the cessation of its men’s first team in 2010 and a merger-related transformation involving Waasland-Beveren. The original club later reactivated its men’s team in 2022, continuing its legacy in lower divisions, while remaining a notable name in Belgian football history.
