Koninklijke Sporting Club Lokeren Oost-Vlaanderen (Dutch pronunciation: [ˈkoː.ˌnɪŋk.lə.kə ˈspɔr.ˌtɪŋ ˈklʏp ˈloː.kə.rə(n) ˈoːst ˈvlaːn.də.rə(n)]) (often simply called Sporting Lokeren [ˈspɔr.ˌtɪŋ ˈloː.kə.rə(n)] or Lokeren [ˈloː.kə.rə(n)]) is a Belgian professional football club based in the city of Lokeren, in the province of East Flanders. Lokeren plays in the Belgian Pro League. The club was founded in 1923 and they first reach the first division in 1974-75. Since then, they only had a short spell in the second division between 1993-94 and 1995-96. Lokeren has been mostly successful in the 1980s, achieving a second place in the league in 1980-81 as well as a Belgian Cup final the same year. Their best European result was a quarter final at the 1980-81 UEFA Cup.

In the year 2000, the club merged with K Sint-Niklase SKE They are registered to the Royal Belgian Football Association with the matricule number 282. Lokeren colours are white, black and yellow. They play their home games at the Daknamstadion.

[edit] History

The matricule n°282 was given in 1920 to a club named Football Club Racing Club Lokeren (nicknamed Racing FC), but the team stopped its activity the next year. In 1923 Racing Club Lokeren was founded and registered into the Belgian Football Association. Between 1945 and 1951, it had a slight name change (to Racing Athletiek- en Football Club Lokeren) and the new name since 1951 was Koninklijke Racing Club Lokeren. Due to financial problems, the fusion with the other team from the town (Koninklijke Standaard F.C. Lokeren) became necessary in 1970. The new club was then named Koninklijke Sporting Club Lokeren. In 2000, the club merged with Koninklijke Sint-Niklaas S.K.E. to form Sporting Lokeren Sint-Niklaas Waasland. A last name change was made in 2003.
