Belgium
YB SK Beveren was the first club in Belgium to be 100% owned by its supporters. Founded in 2011 following the merger of struggling KSK Beveren and KV Red Star Waasland, and controlled by Eskabee 1935, the non-profit organisation behind the club. Alongside the key aim of keeping the history and traditions of two-time Belgian champions KSK Beveren alive and cherished, the club operates on a ‘one member one vote’ principle with a distinct social and community focus to its off-pitch efforts.
From the ashes of K. Lierse S.K. and K. Lyra TSV, the two historic Lier football clubs with a rich tradition of football at the highest level, K. Lyra-Lierse was resurrected in May 2018 as the only Lier football club. At the start, the mission & vision of our club were anchored in a cooperation agreement between the Pallieter Supporters collective and the club.
