Timeline
- 1959 / Foundation of a football club in Blauberg, a hamlet in the far south of the Province of Antwerp. The new club, which takes on the name Voetbalclub (VC) Blauberg, receives registration number 6249 upon joining the Belgian Football Association (URBSFA / KBVB). It is not entirely clear if VC Blauberg played its football at Terrein aan de Sparstraat from its foundation onwards (any information regarding this matter is very welcome; please get in touch!).
- 1974 / Finishing in third-last place in Antwerp’s Provincial League 3B, VC Blauberg descends into Provincial League 4, a level created in 1971.
- 1978 / Runner-up in Antwerp’s Provincial League 4F, VC Blauberg wins promotion to Provincial League 3 – either via a play-off or due to extra promotion places being available.
- 1979 / Finishing in second-last place in Antwerp’s Provincial League 3C, VC Blauberg drops back into Provincial League 4 after just one season.
- 1998 / Finishing in third place in Antwerp’s Provincial League 4D, VC Blauberg goes on to win the ensuing play-off rounds, thus managing a return to Provincial League 3 after a nineteen-year absence.
- 1999 / Finishing bottom of the table in Antwerp’s Provincial League 3D, VC Blauberg drops back into Provincial League 4 after just one season.
- 2010 / Having had to compete in several matches with fewer than eleven players in the early stages of the 2010-11 season, VC Blauberg was struck from the league by the Belgian FA due to an outstanding debt.
- 2011 / With registration number 6249 of VC Blauberg having been erased from the Belgian FA’s membership list, a new club sees the daylight in the village, Blauberg Sport, which joins the association with registration number 9567 and being placed in Antwerp’s Provincial League 4 for the 2011-12 season. Of course, Blauberg Sport settles on the former ground of VC Blauberg at Sparstraat.
- 2014 / Runner-up in Antwerp’s Provincial League 4E, 13 points behind runaway champions KSAV Sint-Dimpna, Blauberg Sport qualifies for the promotion play-offs. Knocking out KVC Oostmalle Sport in R1 (8-3 aggr.), the club goes on to defeat K Boechoutse VV in the final (3-0 aggr.), thus gaining promotion to Provincial League 3.
- 2015 / Finishing in third-last place in Antwerp’s Provincial League 3C, Blauberg Sport drops back into Provincial League 4 after just one season, alongside KFC Heultje, VV Laakdal, and bottom club K Blauwvoet Oevel.
- 2017 / Finishing in third place in Antwerp’s Provincial League 4D, Blauberg Sport qualifies for the promotion play-offs, in which the club bows out in R1 against FC Sint-Jozef SK (2-0 aggr.).
- 2018 / Clinching the title in Antwerp’s Provincial League 4D – incidentally the first-ever league title in the history of football in Blauberg – 3 points ahead of closest rivals KVC Booischot, Blauberg Sport manages a return to Provincial League 3 after three seasons.
- 2019 / Finishing bottom of the table in Antwerp’s Provincial League 3C, Blauberg Sport drops back into Provincial League 4 after just one season, along with FC Netezonen Eindhout, KVC Oostmalle Sport, and Lierse Kempenzonen B. However, following the 2018-19 season, the club withdraws from the Belgian FA, with its registration number 9567 being erased from the membership list of the association. Since, Terrein aan de Sparstraat has remained unused for regular league football, with the site having remained in use as an open community ground.
