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.

On the last day of the training camp in Kamen (Germany) Beerschot suffered a first defeat in their pre season match schedule.

Beerschot have given 23 year old Thibault De Smet a one year 'on loan' contract. Last season the left back played for French top division side Stade de Reims after spells with AA Gent and Sint-Truiden between 2018 and 2020. De Smet is also a former Belgian youth international.

Beerschot has extended Abdoulie Sanyang's contract with one year, with a purchase option on top. This means the young Gambian striker, who is on loan from the Gambian Superstars Academy, will stay at the club until June 2022.
