Vitor Bruno refuses to dramatize

After the defeat in Beveren, Vitor Bruno made no excuses in front of DAZN's cameras: for him, the difference lay in the decisive areas. He refuses to draw exaggerated conclusions from this loss: “Why are we losing? Because they score and we don't.” The Portuguese coach knew it was going to be a difficult game, one of those nights when efficiency matters above all else. Anderlecht had several chances, but failed to convert them. Read more »

Anderlecht went to great lengths to keep De Cat

Anderlecht did indeed make earnest efforts to persuade Nathan De Cat to extend his contract. Het Laatste Nieuws reports today that the Purple & White tabled an improved contract offer on three occasions.

After the match against La Louvière, Tristan Degreef expressed satisfaction with Anderlecht's performance. He felt the Purple & Whites were the better team compared to their opponents from Hainaut, creating numerous chances, though for a long time they lacked that final touch to make the difference.

A European showdown that will shape Sibierski’s strategic decisions

A European showdown that will shape Sibierski’s strategic decisions

In Thessaloniki this Thursday evening, Anderlecht is playing for much more than just a spot in the third qualifying round of the Europa League. The trip to PAOK promises to be a pivotal moment of the club's summer: a qualification would open the door to a European campaign lasting through the winter, while an elimination would plunge RSCA into a period of uncertainty that could last until August 27, the date of the Conference League playoffs. For Antoine Sibierski, the stakes are twofold: sporting, of course, but also financial and strategic. Read more »


The Road to the Top Is Still Long

The Road to the Top Is Still Long

After a disappointing season, RSC Anderlecht is looking to make progress again, though the club realizes that a return to the very top of Belgian soccer won't happen overnight. The team lost the cup final to Union once again, and the Purple & Whites also fell far short of expectations in the Champions' Playoffs. A fourth-place finish and a significant gap behind Club Brugge, Union, and even STVV made it clear that there is still a lot of work to be done. Read more »

Conference League: Off to Norway or Cyprus

If things go wrong against PAOK, there's still a safety net for Anderlecht in Europe this season.

Kana: “Only qualification matters”

Kana: “Only qualification matters”

On the eve of the return leg against Hammarby, Marco Kana comes across as determined. For the Anderlecht midfielder, qualification is the only goal, and last year's elimination against Häcken must serve as motivation. He stresses: “That must not happen again.” In Sweden, Anderlecht showed a far more convincing side than in recent months, with more character and intensity. Kana is pleased that this change is also visible from the outside: in his view, the group has the qualities needed to hurt Hammarby and gain the upper hand in this two-legged tie. Read more »

Tajaouart: “I didn't get my chance”

Anas Tajaouart has been loaned to La Louvière for this season; the club also holds an option to buy the player. The young midfielder, who came up through the ranks at Neerpede, sees this as an opportunity to get more playing time.

He adds that it was time for him to move on from the Challenger Pro League. Read more »

Anderlecht fans still welcome at Union

Anderlecht fans still welcome at Union

The Disciplinary Council of the Belgian Football Association (KBVB) has today decided to annul the ruling at first instance. That ruling had barred Anderlecht supporters from attending the away match at Union, following the incidents after last season's Belgian Cup final. After Anderlecht's appeal, the Council has now decided that the original decision wrongly affected all supporters indiscriminately, including those acting in good faith: “Such a ban affects not only the club, but also the supporters who genuinely care about their team...” A €10,000 fine was not waived.

Kyiv started one round earlier and beat Cluj on penalties. Read more »

Concerns about the pitch at Lotto Park

Concerns about the pitch at Lotto Park

Anderlecht is keeping a close eye on the condition of the pitch at Lotto Park in the build-up to the second leg against Hammarby in the second qualifying round of the Europa League. On Thursday, July 30, the purple and white will host the Swedes, but the field is still not in ideal condition. For a moment, a move to the King Baudouin Stadium was considered, although that option has since been definitively ruled out. The problems stem from the second phase of the extensive renovation of the playing surface, a €1.3 million investment that began last year. Read more »
