Club Brugge KV
Belgian runners-up yet unyielding over Ordóñez: Bruges’ merchants know the value of their pearls.
Blauw-Zwart: Identity & Roots
Founded in 1891, Club Brugge have embodied Flemish excellence for over 130 years. The blue-and-blacks of Jan Breydel Stadium— a 29,042-seat fortress shared with city rivals Cercle—wear “Blauw-Zwart” with pride. In medieval Bruges, every stone seems to tell continental football’s story: tradition woven to European ambition.
The European Collection
With 18 Belgian titles and their 1978 European campaign against Liverpool, Brugge remain a Belgian standard-bearer. That 1978 night at Wembley— a 1–0 victory over Dalglish and Souness’s Reds—marked a pinnacle of Belgian football in Europe. Runners-up in 2024–25 behind Union Saint-Gilloise, they returned to the Champions League via a deserved qualification, reaffirming their role as a Flemish locomotive.
