For their last pre season game of this campaign Beerschot travelled to Dutch amateur team Eindse Boys in Nederweert, where they faced Fortuna Sittard from the Eredivisie.

Fans allowed in the Olympic Stadium on Wednesday night for the fourth edition of the "Memorial Marc Steenackers" game... and that was good to see.

On Wednesday 14th of July Beerschot organises the fourth edition of its "Memorial Marc Steenackers" and welcomes Dutch top division side FC Utrecht to the Olympic Stadium. It is Beerschot's eighth pre season friendly and a real value indicator for the 2021-2022 season that starts in less than two weeks.

Beerschot have also won their second friendly at the "Visputten" in Hoboken. After their 2-0 victory against Waasland Beveren four days earlier Peter Maes' XI were the stronger team in their encounter with Lommel SK. 2-1 the score was on Saturday afternoon, with goals from Rapha Holzhauser and Thibault De Smet and a late consolation goal from the visitors.

Our Mannekes will play ten matches in the build up to the new season, with a training camp in Kamen, Germany.

With Leon Krekovic Beerschot presents its first summer transfer. The 21 year old wingback from Croatian top club Hadjuk Split yesterday signed a two year contract, with a purchase option for another two seasons.
