5 IX 2009 / KFC Olympia Wilrijk - KFC Vrasene 0-2 / Belgium, League 4B


Note: FC Wilrijck, founded in 1921 (and later spelling their name as FC Wilrijk), acquired the royal epithet in 1950, becoming KFC Wilrijk. In 1993, the club merged with Olympia Wilrijk '72 - incidentally a breakaway club of KFC Wilrijk -, forming KFC Olympia Wilrijk. In 2013, upon the demise of K Beerschot Antwerpen Club, KFC Olympia Wilrijk took on the name FCO Beerschot-Wilrijk, henceforth playing their first team football at Beerschot's Olympisch Stadion - also after a subsequent name change, becoming K Beerschot Voetbal-Antwerpen. From 2013 onwards, the ground at Fort VI has been Beerschot's youth academy.
