Timeline

• 2011 / A group of supporters of former professional league side KSK Beveren (registration number 2300), disgruntled by the takeover of their club by KV Red Star Waasland (which became KV Red Star Waasland-SK Beveren in 2010), decides to form a grassroots club, Yellow Blue Beveren (registration number 9577). The new club, which starts its life in East Flanders' Provincial League 4, plays its home matches on one of the side-pitches of Terrein Meesterstraat in Nieuwkerken-Waas.
• 2012 / Yellow Blue Beveren is allowed to move its first team football to Freethielstadion terrein 7 "Lions Park", one of the side-pitches of the Freethielstadion.
• 2017 / Yellow Blue Beveren takes on the new name Yellow Blue Supporterskring (YB SK) Beveren.
• 2020 / YB SK Beveren takes on the new name Supporterskring (SK) Beveren.
• 2022 / SK Beveren concludes a merger with the women's football club KSK Beveren, which had continued life following the demise of the professional league club in 2010 - thus keeping registration number 2300 alive. The new club, which takes on the name KSK Beveren, also concludes a deal with KV Red Star Waasland-SK Beveren, which in its turn is legally allowed to change its name to become SK Beveren with RS Waasland's old registration number 4068.
• 2023 / A new B pitch is laid out for KSK Beveren next to the Zillebeek cemetery on the northwestern outskirts of Beveren (cp. pictures below). This pitch does not have the dimensions for proper league football and is used exclusively for youth academy matches and training purposes, while also serving several recreational football clubs, including SK Viktoria Beveren and Auti-Voetbal U-Nited. A provisional clubhouse is put in place as well. This is the first pitch of a projected new sports site for KSK Beveren.
• 2024 / A second pitch is laid out at Sportcentrum Zillebeek, a 3G, which is due to host KSK Beveren's first team matches once the facilities are completed with a covered stand as well as a fully-fledged new clubhouse.
