After an initial – perplexing – decision on Friday, not to include Arthur Vermeeren to the national A-team, Belgium coach Tedesco finally announced the long-awaited call-up for the Antwerp youngster to join the national squad today.
Over the weekend, Arthur persevered with unwavering dedication, and demonstrated his worth on the field through another impressive performance in the league match against Eupen. Our 18-year old talented midfielder will now join the Belgian team for the upcoming international matches against Austria and Sweden. Undoubtedly the first selection initiating a very successful international career! Congratulations Arthur!
Belgium coach Domenico Tedesco called up our talented midfielder Mandela Keita. He will be joining the national squad for the first time, in light of the upcoming European Championship qualifying matches against Austria and Sweden. Congrats Mandela!

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.”
