The Bosuilstadion – A Century in the Making. More than a stadium. More than bricks and steel. It’s over a hundred years of pure football tradition. Passion. Euphoria. Heartbreak. Battles won and lost. Survival against the odds. Champion bloodlines.

Built in 1923, its bones echo the grand old English grounds of the time – think of London’s White City Stadium (1906) and the mighty Wembley (1923). At its peak in the 1950s, the Bosuil held more than 60,000 roaring souls, the largest stadium ever in Belgian football history. Since 2017, the Bosuil has been reborn – step by step being modernised to a cathedral for the beautiful game, reshaped for the 21st century.

But today, 12 March 2025, we pause to mark the end of an era. The last breath of an icon. Tribune 2 – the final echo of the original Bosuil – stands on the edge of history, staring down the cold steel of bulldozers, defiant to the last.

T2″ was legend. Is legend. Its iconic central arch. The smell of damp concrete, the unique terraces sight, the sound of the faithful. Like an unwelcoming, fearsome place to the enemy – a true cult arena where battles raged on and off the pitch, where miracles unfolded, where brotherhood was forged in red and white, where memories were carved into stone and bone.

Now, it’s time to turn the page. To let a new generation breathe football in a new temple. To write new stories, sing new chants, live new moments. So we say goodbye. And we say hello. “The King is dead, long live the King.” T2 V2.0 – poised to rise, ready to make history, destined to become the next legend 🔴⚪️ 👊
