Lotto Park

The club built this ground itself, on the edge of what was then Meir Park, after outgrowing a pitch in Rue Verheyden. A single wooden stand stood there at the start, and the name came a year later, in honour of Émile Versé, the club's first president.

The second of them arrived with the rebuild that changed everything. Between 1983 and the early 1990s the club replaced the ground with double-tiered stands on all four sides, a large roof and corporate facilities, and paid for it by selling lodges and business seats rather than taking government money — 1.5 billion Belgian Francs, roughly €37 million. The architecture won an IOC award in 1992, and the completed ground took the name of Constant Vanden Stock, the chairman who had driven it. The Lotto Park name followed in 2019.

The record, 38,349, was set against Standard Liège in September 1980, before the work began; a 2012 conversion to an all-seater layout, with backrests, wider aisles and VIP areas, brought the figure down further. Plans to push past 30,000 were shelved in 2022.

Before all that, the ground took a UEFA Euro semi-final in 1972, Hungary against the Soviet Union. It held the second legs of the 1976 and 1978 Super Cups — Real Madrid, then Club Brugge — and of the 1983–84 UEFA Cup final against Tottenham Hotspur. Belgium still play here.
