Antwerp FC is facing a major challenge. The club is seeking a solution to its financial problems. A consortium including Wouter Vandenhaute and Toby Alderweireld is interested in taking over the club.

What's happening?

The current owner, Paul Gheysens, tried to secure a new loan of 100 million euros from Carlyle, but that didn't work out. Now he's looking for other options.

Who are the candidates?

A Belgian investment group, which includes Wouter Vandenhaute and Toby Alderweireld, is interested in taking over Antwerp FC. There are also foreign parties interested.

What are the consequences?

If the takeover goes through, Wouter Vandenhaute could become the new majority shareholder of Antwerp FC. Jacques Vandermeiren could then become the chairman of the club.

Antwerp's last match was a 2-0 win over KVC Westerlo (2026-05-23). The club's recent form is 2W-2D-1L (WWDDL, most recent first). | Date | Opponent | Score | | --- | --- | --- | | 2026-05-23 | KVC Westerlo | 2-0 |
