===KFC Winterslag history (1923–1988)===
The club '''FC Winterslag''' was founded in [[1923 in football (soccer)|1923]] and that gave it the matricule number 322. On its 35th anniversary the club added the Royal prefix ''[[Koninklijke]]'' to their name to become KFC Winterslag. In [[1972–73 in Belgian football|1972–73]] Winterslag reached the [[Belgian Second Division|second division]] and they eventually qualified for the [[1974–75 Belgian First Division]] after finishing second in the [[Belgian Second Division final round|second division final round]]. They had taken advantage of the increase in the number of first division clubs (from 16 to 20). The club ended the season in last place but won the second division right after.

KFC Winterslag reached the 5th place in [[1981 in football (soccer)|1981]] which allowed them to play UEFA Cup matches, where it defeated [[Bryne FK]] from Norway and English Premier league giant [[Arsenal F.C.|Arsenal]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://afchistory.wordpress.com/category/winterslag/|title=Arsenal Humiliated in Europe On This Day|date=3 November 1981|access-date=29 August 2017|archive-date=1 April 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160401212309/https://afchistory.wordpress.com/category/winterslag/|url-status=live}}</ref> In the next round it was knocked out by [[Dundee United]] from Scotland. Two seasons later it was relegated to the second stage after a disappointing last place. That season [[Standard Liège]] won the championship on bribery in a match against the club of Waterschei Thor that would eventually merge with the matricule number 322.  Following a spell of four seasons in the second division, Winterslag found its place again in the [[Belgian First Division|first division]] by winning the [[1987 in football (soccer)|1987]] final round, one point ahead of [[K.S.K. Tongeren|Tongeren]]. It finished 15th on 18 but at the end of the season, the club merged with the neighbour club of Waterschei Thor which was playing in the second division since its relegation in [[1986 in football (soccer)|1986]].
