Futures finish the season with a 5-0 win

RSCA Futures closed a difficult season on a high with a 5-0 win over Olympic Charleroi, the bottom club in the Challenger Pro League. The Futures thus finish a disappointing fourteenth, although they are still ten points clear of second-bottom Club NXT. Thanks to the league's rules, Anderlecht was never in real danger of relegation — relegation would have required another U23 club to go up, which did not occur. RWDM are paying the price of that arrangement this season. Read more »

Tajaouart leads Futures to important win

In a clash between two under-23 sides, RSCA Futures beat Jong Genk this evening. Early goals from Pape N'Dao and Anas Tajaouart quickly put the Futures 2-0 up, and Genk spending most of the match with ten men also played into their hands. With a superb through ball, Tajaouart set N'Dao on his way to the opener within minutes; shortly afterwards Genk's Kim was sent off for a heavy tackle. Tajaouart then made it 2-0, and although Genk grabbed a late consolation goal through Coenen, it proved insufficient. Read more »

Anderlecht doesn't allow Tajaouart to leave to France

French second-division side Amiens approached Anderlecht about Anas Tajaouart but was rebuffed, transfer journalist Sacha Tavolieri reports. Amiens wanted to take Tajaouart on loan until the end of the season, but the Purple-and-White are not prepared to let the young midfielder go. The 20-year-old Tajaouart has been one of the stalwarts of the Futures for about two years and serves as their captain. He was promoted to the first-team squad last year and, although regularly included in matchday selections, has so far only made two appearances — a brief substitution in Europe against Häcken and a short cup appearance against Ninove.

Another convincing victory for the Futures in England

For their third match in the Premier League International Cup, Anderlecht's U23 visited Leeds. As in their two previous appearances, the young Purple & White shone and convincingly defeated a powerless English team 0-3. With 7 out of 9 and one game less, they are currently third; only a victory against West Ham, which is still pointless in three games, can put them in first place and earn them a ticket to the next round. The U23 dominated the entire game and were rarely troubled by a Leeds team that was clearly outclassed.
