'''FC Merchtem''' is a [[België|Belgian]] club from Vlaams-Brabant founded by [[User:stoorzender|stoorzender]] on 29-05-2005. Originaly, the teamname was '''ksvo''' (koninklijk steenokkerzeel vlug op). On 26-04-2017, the owner renamed the club to '''Oppèkse Kadeeën''', when he moved to Opwijk. The final name '''FC Merchtem''' was given on 07-10-2019, when the owner moved to Merchtem.
 
 
The team started in the 10th division and currently plays in the 5th division. They reached [[Eerste Klasse]], the highest division of Belgium, and stayed there for 6 seasons (seasons 65-70). Season 62 was memorable for FC Merchtem, because they won the title in the Belgium Sapphire Challenger Cup. In season 65 they repeated this, making them the first Belgian team to win the same Challenger Cup twice. In the national cup, their best performance was reaching the quarter final (2 times).
