Mathieu David is the hero from the spot

A shoot-out is remembered by its ending, and this one ends with Mathieu David: 3 kept out, and a set of supporters who will describe every one of them for the next twenty years.

Match26 Aug 2026

The cup run ends for Lokeren

1‑1 against Racing Genk, and the road stops here. Cup exits are quick deaths — no second leg, no next week, just the league from now until May.

Market31 Aug 2026

Lois Onana hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Lokeren can pretend not to have heard.

Michaël Heylen in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Lokeren this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Match29 Aug 2026

Lokeren come up short against OH Leuven

OH Leuven left with the points after a 1‑2 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

Yannick Lukaku attracts admirers

The name of Yannick Lukaku has come up in conversations Lokeren were not part of. Nothing formal, nothing signed — but nothing about it accidental either.

Words at Lokeren training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Sander Coopman is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

One of those days for Timothy Lukaku

There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 8.09, and no argument anywhere in the ground.

Sander Coopman misses from twelve yards

It was his to settle and he did not settle it. A long walk back to the halfway line, and a considerably longer week.

Player ratings10 Aug 2026

Both of them Vinícius Farias's — 7.94

2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 7.94, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

Market10 Aug 2026

Vitesse come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and Lokeren did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Player ratings10 Aug 2026

Nobody could get near Timothy Lukaku

Successful dribbles: 24. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Lokeren sell Toby Witsel for $2.0M

Toby Witsel has left for KAA Gent in a $2.0M deal. The accountants are pleased; the supporters are less certain.

Christian Kompany signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Christian Kompany commits to Lokeren for another 5 years.

Lokeren sell Eden De Ketelaere for $1.4M

Eden De Ketelaere has left for PSV in a $1.4M deal. The accountants are pleased; the supporters are less certain.

Business is business: Simon Mignolet goes

KV Oostende paid $830.0K and Lokeren took it, which is the whole story in one sentence. The longer version involves a wage budget and will be told all season.

Match8 Aug 2026

Vinícius Farias the difference as Lokeren beat KV Kortrijk

Ask anyone on the way out what separated the sides and you will get one name: Vinícius Farias. 3‑2 against KV Kortrijk, and the applause at the whistle was mostly his.
