Football arrived in Kortrijk thanks to English workers in the city’s booming spinning & weaving mills. 🏭
125 years later, those same streets erupted in a vibrant, colourful celebration to commemorate the local football history. 🎉🧨

Last weekend marked 125 years of football in the Belgian border city of Kortrijk. 🔴⚪
Local ultras lit numerous flares at the iconic Broeltorens, then over 1,000 supporters marched through the streets to the stadium where the festivities continued. 🥳🍾

😱 l Le RWDM est menacé d'une nouvelle faillite La Commission des licences a sanctionné le club d'un retrait de 3 points cette semaine En interne, on entend que la survie du club semble de plus en plus menacée ... Si aucune solution n'est trouvée, ce serait déjà la 3ème de l'Histoire du club (via Walfoot) 📷 RWDM

The old coal terrils around Liège have mostly cooled down. The only one still regularly burning? Tribune Terril. 🔥🌋

Friday night Walloon fire at the iconic Sclessin: Standard de Liège versus RAAL La Louvière.⚔️
The steel factories closed long ago, but the noise & fire on the banks of the river Meuse are eternal. 🔥

@N0ppes Ja, echt underrated. Die tribune met houten bankjes is ook geweldig. Ouderwetse kantine onder de tribune. Heerlijk.

Belgium’s stadiums are gloriously eccentric, and KV Kortrijk’s Guldensporenstadion is the unsung hero nobody talks about enough. 🏟️🇧🇪
In this day and age, a proper terraced end (not rail seats) packed to the rafters still makes the heart beat faster. 😍

Old-school cup magic at Union SG’s ancient Stade Marien on Wednesday. A must-visit ground for anyone bored of modern arenas. 🏟️
Thick pyro clouds, endless terracing & on-pitch drama delivered something for every football soul during Union’s cup win against Charleroi. 🤩

@Imid1904 Ja, dat viel niet mee. Had er wel iets meer verwacht.

@rwilkowski1 Tegenwoordig wel heel weinig kijkers bij de buren.

Visited Racing Mechelen’s legendary 100+ year-old Oscar Vankesbeeckstadion on Saturday.
What a beautiful old-school relic. 😎
Before the players enter the pitch, they're greeted by the text: “Welkom in de hel van Racing Mechelen”. Sorry lads, but this place is paradise. 🤩

Standard de Liège’s Sclessin might fly under the radar a bit, but it’s up there with Europe’s most unique stadiums. The steep stands and the three-tiered cauldron behind the goal, especially when full like in Sunday’s Classic against Anderlecht, make an impression. 😮💨🔥

It’s time to add the Choc Wallon to your bucket list! ⚔️🇧🇪
Caught the derby at Sclessin on Halloween as well. Pyro clouds, great crowd energy, pure Walloon chaos under the night sky. 🎃
Charleroi or Liège, these clashes deliver everything beautiful about football. ⚡️

Charleroi 2-0 Standard Liège in the Walloon Derby (Choc Wallon)! ⚔️
Home win, monster "Au Combat" tifo to open things up, Standard ultras going full inferno with a crazy pyro show. 🤯
What a Sunday in Charleroi! 🦓

Mouscron/Moeskroen nostalgia: Le Canonnier hosted Excelsior’s European nights back in the day. ⚽️
Excelsior Mouscron is no more (bankrupt in ’09, successor gone in ’22), but Stade Mouscron rises from the ashes & is fighting to bring the glory days back to this border city. 💪🏻🇧🇪

Medieval magic everywhere in Bruges… except inside the concrete lump of Club Brugge’s Jan Breydel Stadium. 😅
A fairytale unfolded for La Louvière! The Wolves roared back from 2-0 down, snatched a 2-3 winner and sent their black-clad ultras into mayhem. Epic away day! 🐺🤯
