The 2025-26 season marked a historic campaign for the Oud-Heverlee Leuven (OH Leuven) Women’s team, highlighted by their maiden UEFA Women’s Champions League (UWCL) run and continued dominance in Belgium. This success stands in stark contrast to some other parts of the sporting business overseen by Khun Top and Jon Rudkin, whose core focus remains Leicester City. While Leicester's women's team faced a challenging season, OH Leuven's achievements underscore a positive trajectory for their sister club.

OH Leuven made history as the first Belgian team to successfully navigate the qualifying rounds and reach the knockout play-offs of the revamped UEFA Women’s Champions League. This groundbreaking achievement showcased their growing prowess on the European stage, drawing significant attention to Belgian women's football.

The decisive second leg of the UWCL knockout play-offs took place on February 18, 2026, at Meadow Park in Borehamwood, England. Despite a valiant effort, OH Leuven ultimately bowed out to the formidable Arsenal Women FC, concluding their memorable European adventure. This experience, however, provided invaluable exposure and growth for the team.

Domestically, the OH Leuven Women’s team continued their strong performance, maintaining their position of dominance within Belgian football. Their consistent success at home, coupled with their historic European foray, solidifies their status as a leading force in the sport. This sustained excellence reflects the effective processes ongoing at the club.

In comparison, the Leicester City Women's team experienced a troublesome season, yet still retained control over their destiny. They faced a crucial play-off game to secure their top-flight survival, demonstrating the varied fortunes within Khun Top and Jon Rudkin's broader footballing portfolio.

The contrasting fortunes between OH Leuven and Leicester City highlight the dynamic nature of football management across different clubs. For Khun Top and Jon Rudkin, OH Leuven's success in the UWCL and domestic league represents a significant bright spot and a testament to their strategic vision for the Belgian club.
