BELGIUM: KFC Stabelino (1953-) / K Tubantia Borgerhout VK (B) (2020-)

Stabelino - August Van de Wielelei, Antwerp = Antwerpen = Anvers Deurne (KFC Stabelino & B ground of K Tubantia Borgerhout VK)

Belgium, province: Antwerp = Antwerpen

21 IV 2018 / FC De Klamper - An Sibhin IFC 2-1 / KAVVV afdeling Voetbal Antwerpen, Div. 2A

Note 1: the artificial ski slope which was the backdrop of Stabelino's ground for decades (cp. photos 1-3, taken in August 2016), was knocked down in the winter of 2017/2018. In what amounts to a complete renovation of all sports facilities in the Ruggeveld area, Stabelino's ground was due to be removed as well - the date given by club officials at the time of my visit was December 2018 - but nothing seems to have come of this. Quite the opposite, KFC Stabelino were joined by the youth academy of K Tubantia Borgerhout VK in the summer of 2020.

Note 2: apart from KVV members KFC Stabelino, who play Sunday recreational league football, over the years, the Stabelino ground has been used by various Saturday recreational teams as well, of which KAVVV members FC De Klamper are just one. KAVVV afdeling Voetbal Antwerpen is a league of football clubs from the Antwerp province not affiliated to the Belgian Football Association; under the auspices of KAVVV afdeling Voetbal Antwerpen, over 100 clubs play their football in a league pyramid of four divisions, subdivided into several regional sub-competitions.
