Gemeentelijk Sportstadion - Quinkenstraat, Zaventem = Saventhem (KV Woluwe-Zaventem, formerly K Saventhem FC / KVK Zaventem)

Belgium, province: Flemish Brabant

21 V 2009 / KV Woluwe-Zaventem - R Olympic Club Charleroi-Marchienne 2-0 / National Leagues 2 & 3 - promotion-relegation play-off (= BE levels 2 & 3)
13 V 2012 / KV Woluwe-Zaventem - R Excelsior Virton 2-3 / National League 3 - promotion play-off (= BE level 3)

Note 1: Saventhem Football Club, founded in 1924 (matricule 424), acquired the royal epithet in 1951, continuing life as a Société Royale. In 1972, the club name was changed to become KVK (Koninklijke Voetbalklub) Zaventem. In 2003, a merger was concluded with KV Wosjot Woluwe, forming KV Woluwe-Zaventem (KVWZ), retaining Wosjot's matricule (3197). Since, first team football has taken place at Zaventem's ground, Quinkenstraat. The two grounds in Sint-Stevens-Woluwe which used to belong to KV Wosjot and its two predecessors, Wosjot Woluwe and RSC Woluwe - remained in use for lower team football and training purposes, although Wosjot's ground at Frans Smoldersstraat was abandoned in 2020; from that time on, the former RSC Woluwe's premises at Eversestraat have housed the club's entire youth academy.
