Belgium, province: Antwerp
22 VII 2021 / Leest United - SK Rapid Leest 0-6 / Pre-season friendly
Note: Racing Heffen, a recreational team founded by former players of nearby Heffen SK, played their home games on the pitch shown in the pictures below, situated at Gentsesteenweg, from their foundation in 1987 onwards. In 2004, they were joined by Leest United, a new club formed by a group of disgruntled members of VV Leest. The two clubs groundshared for two seasons, upon which Racing Heffen ceased their activities. Since, Leest United were the only users of this location. In 2022, Leest United changed its name to become VC Leest - though this was a technical solution to what in effect was a merger with SK Rapid Leest. Rapid Leest sold its matricule (3737) to Nielse SV. First team football moved to Leest United's ground, with SK Rapid's premises at Pastoor De Heuckstraat remaining in use for lower team football and training purposes. This is a temporary arrangement, however, as VV Leest's former ground at Dorpstraat, which had been left in disrepair for several years, will be renovated to become the new club's only home in the near future.
