Oud-Heverlee Leuven was founded in 2002 from the merger of 3 old Leuven clubs, Stade Leuven, Zwarte Duivels Oud-Heverlee and Daring Club Leuven. The club plays in the highest Belgian division and is therefore, after RB Leipzig (2009) and FK Krasnodar, the third youngest European club to play at the highest level.
OH Leuven comes to Ruurlo with a team that plays in the national U18 Elite league. This league consists of 10 teams, of which the 1st teams also play at the highest level. In the regular competition, OHL finished fifth and thus qualified for the play-offs, together with Anderlecht, KAA Gent, KRC Genk and Standard Liège. In April, these five teams will decide who can ultimately call themselves champions of Belgium.
Players have also been regularly used this season in the club’s B team, which is active in the highest amateur class.
OH Leuven makes its debut at the PLUS Stam KST, making it the twelfth Belgian club to participate in our tournament.
