Note 1: Sport Na Arbeid Wolvertem, founded in 1939, changed their name to become Wolvertem Sporting Club two years later. In 2000, the club abandoned their old ground in Wolvertem's town centre in favour of the newly built Frans Lathouwersstadion. Frans Lathouwers, town councillor in Meise who died shortly before the ground's inauguration, had been the driving force behind the construction of the stadium. During the 2000 European Football Championships, the pitch was used by Romania's national team as their training ground. In 2016, K Wolvertem SC merged with local rivals FC Merchtem 2000, becoming K Hoger Op Wolvertem-Merchtem (often referred to by the acronym KHOWM). Retaining Wolvertem's matricule (3155), the new club's first team have since played their matches in Wolvertem, while Merchtem's Sportcomplex Dooren has remained in use for lower team football and training purposes. From the 2021/2022 season onwards, the stadium in Wolvertem is also used by RSC Anderlecht for their U21 home matches.
