BELGIUM: Sibelgas (±1968-2004) / KVK Wemmel (B) (2004-2015) / VK Mireille Wemmel (2009-2020)

Gemeentelijk Complex 'De Zijp' "Sibelgasterrein", Wemmel (formerly Sibelgas / B ground of KVK Wemmel / VK Mireille Wemmel)

Belgium, province: Flemish Brabant

December 2021 / no match visited

Note: The football pitch shown in the pictures below is part of a larger complex of sports facilities, which, until 2004, belonged to the Sibelgas company, which used to have its own recreational football team (probably also known as Sibelgas, exact name unknown). In 2004, the premises were acquired by the Wemmel town council, who allowed local football club KVK Wemmel to use it for lower team football and training purposes. In 2015, KVK Wemmel abandoned the premises after their own Marcel Van Langenhovestadion was equipped with a 3G - making the extra pitch at De Zijp superfluous. Meanwhile, a local recreational club, VK Mireille Wemmel (founded in 1970), had moved in - remaining the ground's sole user until being forced out by Wemmel's town council who have turned the sports hall next to the pitch into a vaccination centre - and don't want any other activities in its vicinity for the moment. Since 2020, Mireille Wemmel have played their football at a venue close by - on the same street in fact - behind Café 'Op 't Hoeksken'.
