The municipality of Vorst responded in a press release on Friday morning to the statements made by Philippe Bormans, the CEO of football club Union. Bormans indicated earlier this week that he hopes that there will be clarity before July 21 about the construction of a new stadium in Vorst, on the Bempt site. The municipality of Vorst explains on Friday that it has been waiting for answers from the club for almost a year and a half.

“The unwillingness to find a solution for Union’s new stadium is not on our part,” the municipality responded. “As a board, we asked the club structured questions, as we do with all private individuals who want to build a project of this size on municipal land. As of February 2022, we have been asking questions in a constructive spirit. There is still no answer to the challenges we face.”

“We ask the president and the owner of the club to assign us an interlocutor with whom we can continue our discussions and work towards a solution,” said Mariam El Hamidine, the mayor of Vorst. “We have been waiting for years for a mobility study, we have been waiting too long for the club to use the resources for this. Now we also have to wait months for a serious study to quantify the matter and then implement the upcoming recommendations with the region.”

Bormans had stated earlier this week that “precious time” is being lost. The people of Brussels always have to move to other stadiums for their European home matches. “We ask that politicians in Vorst take their responsibility,” said the CEO, who asked the municipality to be open to dialogue.
