Simply photos of matchday and stadium visits, mainly in Belgium and the Netherlands, occasionally in Britain or farther afield. Others call it 'groundhopping', whereas I prefer 'football tourism'... but things have run slightly out of control: therefore, this is Extreme Football Tourism.

Note 1: Saventhem Football Club, founded in 1924 (matricule 424), acquired the royal epithet in 1951, continuing life as a Société Royale. In 1972, the club name was changed to become KVK (Koninklijke Voetbalklub) Zaventem. In 2003, a merger was concluded with KV Wosjot Woluwe, forming KV Woluwe-Zaventem (KVWZ), retaining Wosjot's matricule (3197). Since, first team football has taken place at Zaventem's ground, Quinkenstraat. The two grounds in Sint-Stevens-Woluwe which used to belong to KV Wosjot and its two predecessors, Wosjot Woluwe and RSC Woluwe - remained in use for lower team football and training purposes, although Wosjot's ground at Frans Smoldersstraat was abandoned in 2020; from that time on, the former RSC Woluwe's premises at Eversestraat have housed the club's entire youth academy.
