BELGIUM: KFC Belgica Edegem (±1924-1966) / KVV Belgica Edegem Sport (1966-2016) / FC Belgica (2017-) / VC Ostan (2017-)

Gemeentelijk Sportstadion 'Vic Coveliers', Edegem (FC Belgica & VC Ostan, formerly KFC Belgica Edegem / KVV Belgica Edegem Sport)

Belgium, province: Antwerp

22 VIII 2019 / FC Belgica - K Boechoutse VV 4-2 / Pre-season friendly

Note: the premises of what has been known as the Vic Coveliers Stadium after a complete refurbishment in 1980, have been in use since probably the early 1920s by KFC Belgica Edegem and subsequently (after a merger with KVV Edegem Sport) KVV Belgica Edegem Sport. When this club went into administration in 2016, the ground remained unused for one season. In 2017, Edegem's town council decided to allow two recreational teams to occupy the stadium: FC Belgica (founded in 1974 as a breakaway from KVV Belgica Edegem Sport of those disaffected by the 1966 merger) and VC Ostan, both of which had been playing at a ground at Molenlei in Edegem - a pitch meanwhile replaced by housing.
