Timeline

• 1938 / Foundation of a football club in Lutlommel, a hamlet on the eastern outskirts of Lommel in Belgian Limburg. The new club, Lutlommel Voetbalvereniging (VV), joins the Belgian Football Association (URBSFA / KBVB) with registration number 2770. The club’s first pitch is situated at Molenakker. At some point in the following years – no exact year can be provided unfortunately – the club switched to Terrein Vredestraat, near the village centre of Lutlommel.
• ± 1972 / In or around 1972, Lutlommel VV abandons its pitch at Vredestraat, settling at a newly laid-out ground, Terrein De Konijnenpijp. 
• 1988 / On the club’s fiftieth anniversary, Lutlommel VV acquires the royal epithet, thus officially becoming Koninklijke Lutlommel Voetbalvereniging (K Lutlommel VV or KLVV).
• 2023 / On a piece of land partly taken by the old pitch 3 of Terrein De Konijnenpijp, a new clubhouse is constructed for K Lutlommel VV, with a covered stand built into it. In October 2023, these premises as well as the club’s new main pitch – officially pitch 8, Terrein 8 – are inaugurated in the presence of Lommel’s mayor Bob Nijs.
• 2024 / In January 2024, the clubhouse and covered stand along the old main pitch at Terrein De Konijnenpijp are knocked down. The pitch itself continues to be in use for lower team football and training sessions. Also in 2024, as champions in Provincial League 3B, no fewer than 16 points ahead of closest followers K Kabouters Opglabbeek, K Lutlommel VV manages a return to Provincial League 2 after an absence of four years.
