Timeline
  • 1952 / Foundation of Kapelle Sport, a first football club in Sint-Ulriks-Kapelle obtaining membership of Belgium's Football Association under matricule 5586.
  • 1956 / Kapelle Sport folds, ceasing all activities.
  • 1960 / Foundation of Real Kapelle. Real Kapelle joins the Belgian FA, receiving matricule 6439 - but its participation in Brabant's Provincial Leagues starts one year later, in 1961.
  • 1963 / Real Kapelle changes its name to become FC Kapelle Sport.
  • 2003 / By winning the play-offs in Provincial League 3, FC Kapelle Sport manages a promotion to Provincial League 2 for the first time in its history. The spell in 'P2' lasts nine seasons.
  • 2014 / Merger of FC Kapelle Sport with Daring Sint-Martens-Bodegem (matricule 6239), resulting in the creation of Bodegem-Kapelle United, usually referred to as BOKA United, retaining Kapelle's matricule (6439). FC Kapelle Sports ends its existence as an independent club on a high, as the title in Provincial League 3C is obtained - thus allowing BOKA United to start up life as a Provincial League 2 side. Following the merger, Bodegem's Henri Appelmansstadion remains in use for lower team football and training purposes, but first team football moves to Sint-Ulriks-Kapelle.
  • 2017 / Winning the play-offs in Provincial League 2, Bodegem-Kapelle United accedes to Provincial League 1 - a feat never before accomplished by BOKA or either of its two predecessors. The spell at the highest provincial level lasts for one season only, but the club is back in 'P1' in 2020. 
  • 2021 / KVC Itna Itterbeek (matricule 5636) joins BOKA at Lumbeekstraat as groundsharers after being forced to abandon its own grounds at Herdebeekstraat, Sint-Anna-Pede, and Kapelleveld, Sint-Gertrudis-Pede.
  • 2022 / Merger of Bodegem-Kapelle United with KVC Itna Itterbeek without either BOKA's name or matricule changing as a result.
  • 2022 / BOKA United moves its first team football to the completely refurbished Sportcomplex Bosstraat in Groot-Bijgaarden. The premises at Lumbeekstraat remain in use for lower team football and training purposes.
