BBC interviewed our ASC UK President – By Emma Smith, BBC Sport

Last season was legendary, Antwerp FC earned a first league championship since 1957 in the most dramatic of circumstances, thanks to a 94th-minute equaliser from former Tottenham defender Toby Alderweireld in the final game. It earned Antwerp passage into Europe’s elite club competition [the UEFA Champions League] for the first time.

“Historically, the football club embodies an authentic rawness, work hard and play hard, no nonsense. Antwerp is not about being sophisticated but being unfiltered. That’s why Alderweireld and van Bommel are successful here.”
