Royal Antwerp and Arthur Vermeeren have reached an agreement with Atlético Madrid for the transfer of the Club’s most expensive player ever. In a deal worth more than £23M Antwerp sees a fan favourite and one of Belgium’s biggest talents leave. From now on, “Arturo” is a Colchonero.

Thank you, Arthur, for the wonderful time you’ve given us. At just 18, with Antwerp you’ve conquered everything Belgium has to offer. You’re an exemplary professional and a beacon for every aspiring young footballer. Congratulations on this superb transfer; everyone who holds Red & White dear wishes you the very best in Madrid and in your – undoubtedly successful – future career. Arturo: always a Red! 🇵🇪💪

In the midst of an icy and snowy winter landscape the scheduled game from last Wednesday got canceled. Today, one week later, the Great Old will battle to progress to the semi-finals of the Croky Cup. In the last four away games against OH Leuven our Reds managed just one victory, and also faced scoring challenges, can our lads crack the code more easily in today’s quarter cup final? Come on You Reds!

“Veni vidi vici” – No precedent, never seen, never done before: Royal Antwerp FC took home all individual prices at the “Golden Boot Awards” yesterday. Sucess was expected, given The Great Old’s historic 2022/2023 season, where we won The Belgian Cup, The League Title, The Supercup, and qualified for the UEFA Champions League. Congrats to our Champions! 🏆🇵🇪💪
