Gert Doumen (born 24 June 1971 in Bree) is a retired Belgian football goalkeeper who played several seasons at the highest level of professional football with Genk, RWDM, Mouscron and Heusden-Zolder. [1]

Doumen started his career with Genk, where he was promoted from the youth ranks to the first team squad in 1991. For several seasons, he was often the second goalkeeper behind Ronny Gaspercic and István Brockhauser, although he collected over 49 games with Genk. As such he was part of the team that played at the highest level of Belgian football between 1991-1994 and 1996-2000, including the promotion from the second division in 1996 and the first division title in 1999. Thereafter, he moved on to first division teams Mouscron and RWDM, staying one season each time, before trying his luck in the lower leagues with Patro Eisden. He was called back into the first league by newly promoted Heusden-Zolder and stayed with the team when they relegated until the team went bankrupt and folded the season thereafter in 2006. In November 2006, he was signed by OH Leuven as a spare keeper after severe injuries to first keepers Mike Van Hamel and Thierry Berghmans [2] and played a few matches before being released after their recovery in February 2007. Thereafter he had a short spell back at Patro Eisden, where he stopped his playing career and started coaching the goalkeepers of the youth squad.

The Belgian Second Division play-offs were a series of playoff matches to decide promotion to the Belgian Pro League, organised between 1974 and 2015. Following a large reform of the Belgian football league system at the end of the 2015–16 season, the play-offs were no longer held. In the earlier years these play-offs were contested by teams of the Belgian Second Division but since 2009 also a team from the Belgian Pro League took part. Four teams normally played these play-offs, with the winner being promoted to the Belgian Pro League.

The Belgian Third Division B was one of the two leagues at the third level of the Belgian football league system, the other one being the Belgian Third Division A. This division existed from the 1952–53 until 2015–16 seasons and was played every year with 18 clubs from 2009. Prior to this, the third level in the Belgian football league system was called Promotion and was divided into four leagues of 16 clubs each and prior to the 1931–32 season, the Promotion was divided into three leagues. Due to restructuring, the Third Division was replaced by Belgian Second Amateur Division which plays as three leagues of 16 clubs each from the 2016–17 season.
