About KSV Waregem

KSV Waregem, officially Koninklijke Sportvereniging Waregem, was a Belgian football club based in Waregem, West Flanders. It was founded in 1925 and became one of the notable clubs in Belgian football, especially after reaching the national leagues and establishing itself in the top division. The club played its home matches at the Regenboogstadion.

The team experienced its golden era mainly between the 1960s and 1980s, regularly competing in the Belgian First Division. One of its biggest achievements came in 1974 when it won the Belgian Cup, and in 1982 it also secured the Belgian Super Cup. Internationally, KSV Waregem made a strong impression in the 1985–86 UEFA Cup, where it reached the semi-finals.

Financial difficulties eventually led to a decline, and after relegations in the late 1990s, the club was dissolved in 2001. It merged with Zultse VV to form SV Zulte Waregem, which continues to play in Belgian professional football today, carrying on part of KSV Waregem’s legacy.
