Simply photos of matchday and stadium visits, mainly in Belgium and the Netherlands, occasionally in Britain or farther afield. Additionally, some historical information about grounds and clubs is provided. 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.
