Timeline
  • 2009 / Foundation of Herleving Red Star (HRS) Haasdonk, obtaining membership of Belgium's Football Association under matricule 9524. Although intended as a refoundation of the former KFC Red Star Haasdonk, which changed its name to become KV Red Star Waasland in 2002 - moving to Sint-Niklaas' Stedelijk Sportstadion Puyenbeke that same year -, HRS Haasdonk refrained from an application to take over Red Star's former ground, the Robert Waterschootstadion at 't Ster, a hamlet halfway between Haasdonk and Sint-Niklaas. Instead, the new club settles at Terrein Poerdam, a pitch situated in Haasdonk proper, which until that time had only been used by recreational sides. Meanwhile, Beveren-Waas' town council starts works on a proper clubhouse and stand for the new club, situated on a newly created second pitch at Poerdam.
  • 2010 / In its first season, HRS Haasdonk obtains the title in East Flanders' Provincial League 4E, thus acceding to Provincial League 3.
  • 2011 / Upon inauguration of the new main stand and clubhouse in October 2011, HRS Haasdonk moves its first team football to the new pitch created to the north of the original pitch of Terrein Poerdam - now aptly rebaptised Poerdamstadion.
  • 2015 / Winning the promotion play-offs in P3, HRS Haasdonk accedes to Provincial League 2.
  • 2019 / Only ten years after having been founded, HRS Haasdonk manages a promotion to East Flanders's Provincial League 1. The stay at that level lasts for one season only, as the club drops back to P2 in 2020.
  • 2022 / After an absence of three years, HRS Haasdonk manages a return to P1.
