About SV Zulte Waregem

SV Zulte Waregem is a Belgian football club based in Waregem, West Flanders, formed in 2001 through a collaboration between Zultse VV and KSV Waregem. The club competes in the Belgian football league system and plays its home matches at the Regenboogstadion, which it inherited from the historic KSV Waregem. It is known for its red and green colours and represents a merger of two local football traditions.

The club rose quickly through the divisions after its formation, reaching the Belgian top flight in the mid-2000s and establishing itself as a stable first-division side for many years. One of its standout achievements was finishing second in the Belgian Pro League in the 2012–13 season, which also led to qualification for European competition, including Champions League qualifying rounds and Europa League group stage appearances.

Zulte Waregem has also won major domestic silverware, including two Belgian Cups (2006 and 2017), marking the peak of its success. However, after a long stay in the top division, the club was relegated in 2023 but later bounced back by winning the Challenger Pro League in 2025, securing a return to the Belgian Pro League.
