Nijlen

KFC Nijlen play in the Second Amateur Division (Tweede Afdeling), a level they had never reached before 2025. They finished second in the Third Amateur Division (Derde Afdeling VV B) in 2024/25 and then won the promotion play-off against Tempo Overijse 3-2. It was the fourth promotion in the club's history, after those of 1937, 1966 and 2015.

The club began on 15 June 1927 as FC Nijlen. It received royal status in 1957 and became KFC Nijlen. In 1965 it merged with FC Sportvrienden Nijlen, a club formed in 1946. The merged side kept matricule 1065 and played as KFC SV Nijlen until it reverted to the old name in 1997.

In the 1950s the billiards player Raymond Ceulemans played football for the club. In more recent years Harald Pinxten (2014–2018) and Matthias Trenson (2016–2019) were on the books. Kenny Thompson played for the club in 2017–2018 and later became a head coach. Goalkeeper Yves De Winter came through the youth ranks between 1999 and 2001.

The fixture that fills the ground is the derby against KFC Bevel, from the neighbouring village within the same municipality. It is called the Derby van Groot-Nijlen, or the Derby van de gemeenten. In August 2024 more than 1,800 people watched it, in a stadium that holds 1,000 seats.

Nijlen reached the final of the Antwerp Cup (Beker van Antwerpen) in 2022/23 and lost it.
