KV Mechelen is leaving the Lotto Super League after this season. The club and the Pro League communicated this together on Monday morning.

“We have participated in the Lotto Super League with great enthusiasm over the last 2 years,” explains KV Mechelen CEO Frank Lagast. “It was a unique experience with a lot of commitment and passion from our ladies board. We would like to congratulate our team on the beautiful course they have completed. After 2 years we have to conclude that we can no longer meet the increasingly ambitious licensing conditions for professional women’s football. We are going to put extra focus on our girls’ youth work and our Mechelen promises. Our women’s team will compete again next year in the 1st national, like 3 years ago, with our best Mechelen talents.”

WS Woluwe also previously announced that it would be leaving the first division after the season. Eendracht Aalst also withdrew last season. After this season, only eight teams remain in the Lotto Super League.

“The fact that KV Mechelen is leaving the top division is not nice news, but it does not come as a surprise,” admits Lorin Parys, CEO of the Pro League. “It is not illogical that, in the context of our plan that we have worked hard on over the past year, some clubs take one step back and then take two steps forward. With this plan we are taking our role in the development of women’s football, together with the KBVB, the wings and all clubs.”
