Timeline

• 1971 / Foundation of a recreational sports club in Eeksken, a hamlet in the municipality of Opwijk in the northwestern corner of the Province of Brabant (present day Flemish Brabant). The club takes on the name Omnisport Eeksken, with the football branch joining the Koninklijke Vlaamse Voetbalbond (KVV), a football association for recreational clubs. Home matches are played on a pitch laid out on a plot of land hemmed in between Eeksken and Steenweg op Lebbeke.
• 1987 / In a conflict between the leadership of Omnisport Eeksken and the football branch of the club, the latter decides to break away, becoming Voetbalklub (VK) Eeksken. 
• 1990 / With the pitch at Eeksken proper having to make way for housing, VK Eeksken moves to a newly laid-out pitch at Klaarstraat, on a plot of farmland put at the disposal of the club by a local potato merchant Roger Vereertbrugghen. A clubhouse is added to the set-up alongside the ground’s northern touchline.
• ± 1995 / VK Eeksken is joined at Terrein aan de Klaarstraat by the youth academy of local regular Belgian Football Association (KBVB / URBSFA) club KSK Sint-Paulus Opwijk, with an extra pitch being laid out and with the latter having its own clubhouse built in between the two pitches.
• 2015 / With KSK Sint-Paulus Opwijk folding after one year of inactivity, VK Eeksken remains behind as the sole club making use of the two pitches at Klaarstraat. The KSK Opwijk clubhouse is knocked down.
• 2017 / Recreational association KVV, of which VK Eeksken is a member, is absorbed into the KBVB, with the club being placed in the recreational divisions of the regular Belgian FA. Also in 2017, a third pitch, a 3G, is added to the set-up at Terrein aan de Klaarstraat – however, not for VK Eeksken, but for the youth academy of Eendracht Mazenzele Opwijk (EMO), which starts making use of this facility in addition to its main ground at Vossestraat and another synthetic pitch, Terrein Molenkouter at Steenweg op Vilvoorde.
• 2018 / With a fourth pitch – a natural grass pitch – as well as a clubhouse for Eendracht Mazenzele Opwijk being added to the set-up at Terrein aan de Klaarstraat, the ground is officially renamed Campus Tesseskouter. Eendracht Mazenzele Opwijk abandons its old ground at Vossestraat.
• 2023 / Relinquishing its membership of the KBVB, VK Eeksken joins the KAVVV (Koninklijke Algemene Vereniging van Vriendenclubs) – more specifically its East Flanders & Flemish Brabant branch.
