About SC Eendracht Aalst

SC Eendracht Aalst was a Belgian football club from Aalst in East Flanders, founded on 25 June 1919 after local people had played charity matches for prisoners of war during the First World War. Known as the Onions, the club joined the national divisions in 1932 and first reached the top flight in 1939, playing its home matches at the Pierre Cornelis Stadium.

After decades in the lower divisions, including a relegation to the bottom national tier after a bribery affair in 1965, Aalst returned to the first division in 1994 under coach Jan Ceulemans, with players such as Godwin Okpara and Gilles De Bilde. A strong first season back earned the club a place in the 1995–96 UEFA Cup, where it knocked out Levski Sofia before losing to Roma in the second round.

The original club went into liquidation in 2002 and the team continued under a new licence from the third division. After years of licensing problems it dropped into the provincial leagues, and in February 2025 the club was declared bankrupt and folded.
