Koninklijke Sportkring Beveren (English: Royal Sporting Club of Beveren) was a Belgian association football club from the town of Beveren in East Flanders. It was famous for its goalkeeping school that has produced such players as Jean-Marie Pfaff, Filip De Wilde, Geert De Vlieger, Erwin Lemmens, and Tristan Peersman, all of whom have played for the Belgian national team. Wilfried Van Moer, a midfielder who also went on to represent Belgium, started his career at Beveren. The club dissolved in June 2010 to merge with KV Red Star Waasland, becoming KV Red Star Waasland-Beveren.
A club named Standaard Club Beveren was founded in 1921 and it merged later with FC Amical (English: FC Friendly), but the club folded in 1931. Three years later, the footballers of Standaard Club decided to found a new club, which they named SK Beveren-Waes. It became a member of the Belgian Football Association in 1935. Ten seasons after, the club changed its name to SK Beveren-Waas (Beveren is a town in the Waasland – Pays de Waes region). After 14 seasons in the Belgian Provincial leagues, Beveren-Waas reached the fourth national level in 1948, and the third division in 1951.
In 1966, they reached the second division for the first time, and, led by future national manager Guy Thijs, were surprise winners of the league. Since then, it has been relegated from the top division three times(1972, 1990 and 1996), but on each occasion was re-promoted at the first attempt.
The club changed its name again, to KSK Beveren, in 1978, and under this name enjoyed their greatest successes, being surprise champions in 1979 and 1984. In 1979, they beat Internazionale in the Cup Winners’ Cup, eventually being eliminated by FC Barcelona in the semi-finals with two close (1-0) defeats. During this campaign, KSK Beveren had many players with only semi-professional status. TV reporters took pleasure to call those players by their jobs : the Fireman, the Docker, the Policeman, the Employee etc.
In 2006, they were threatened with the loss of their professional licence and subsequent relegation to the third division, but eventually won an appeal to preserve their status. In 2007, however, the club ended last in the Jupiler League and was forced to go to the second division.
In 2010, a few weeks before the end of the championship, the club announced that due to its financial situation it didn’t apply for a professional license and chose the automatic relegation to the third division for the season 2010-2011.
