History

The club was founded on 12 March 1926. On 20 March, the recognition of the Belgian Football Association was received, the club was assigned SK number 818 as SK Deinze. Some important figures during the foundation were children's car manufacturer Emile Torck, his son Georges Torck and garage owner Albert Van Den Poel. They played on a site near Astenedreef. In the following years Deinze almost always played in the higher provincial series.

In 1940 the activities were interrupted, the site had been transformed into a junkyard. During the Second World War, the association was further expanded under President Georges Torck and Vice President Achiel De Clercq, as well as hockey, swimming and table tennis. From 1946 it was kept with football again.

In the following years, the club's rise continued, playing in the national promotion series or in the highest provincial series. In 1978 the team moved to the new Burgemeester Van de Wiele Stadium in De Brielmeersen, laid out by the city council. In 1982 Deinze last played in the provincial departments, that year another promotion to promotion was enforced. In 1988, Georges Torck retired as chairman, CEO Marc Hoste succeeded him.

In 1992 and 1993, Deinze celebrated two consecutive championship titles, making it second national. In 1997, the club reached the final round under the leadership of trainer Eddy Mestdagh, but a promotion to first class did not work. In 2001 Deinze only through additional sports grounds could ensure conservation in second class, when KFC Turnhout (become the second was) received a license from the Belgian FA and relegated.

At the end of the 2008–09 season, Deinze relegated to third division, where it spent six seasons. In the 2009–10 season, Deinze was allowed to participate in the final round for promotion, but lost to ROC de Charleroi-Marchienne. Three years later, Deinze also fought for promotion via the final round. The club had only finished thirteenth that season, but had won a period title. In the final round was lost to KRC Mechelen. A year later (season 2013–14) Deinze took part in the final round again, but lost to Union Saint-Gilloise. A year later, the promotion to second class finally followed.

Since the league reform in 2016, Deinze played in the First Division amateurs.

In 2017, the club bought the Mayor Van de Wielestadion for €521,000 from the city. [1]

Since the 2020–21 season, Deinze has played in Second Division of Belgium, after having been in first place of the amateur leagues when the competition came to an end in 2019–20. [2]

The Belgian Third Division was the third highest level in Belgian football. It had two leagues of 18 teams each at the same level. This competition, originally known as the Belgian Promotion was first played in the 1926-27 season with three leagues, then with four leagues between 1931 and 1952. From 1952 on, only two leagues remained and the competition was named the Third Division. Originally set to 16 clubs, the number of clubs in each division was increased in 2009 to 18 clubs. At the end of the regular season, both league winners promoted to the second division and a play-off was played to determine a possible third club to promote. The champion of the third division was determined after a two-legged match between the winners of the two leagues. If those matches ended in a draw, a third match was played on a neutral ground. However, in recent years this final game was not organised anymore due to lack of interest. In 2016, the Belgian Third Division was replaced by the Belgian Second Amateur Division.

The Belgian Third Division A was one of the two leagues at the third level of the Belgian football league system, the other one being the Belgian Third Division B. This division existed from the 1952–53 to 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.
