K.S.C. Lokeren Oost-Vlaanderen is a Belgian football club located in the city of Lokeren, in the province of Oost-Vlaanderen. It is the result of a fusion between Koninklijke Sint-Niklase Sportkring Excelsior and Koninklijke Sporting Club Lokeren in 2000. Both teams were also formed merging two former teams. The matricule of the team is the n°282.

[edit] History

The matricule n°282 was given in 1920 to a club named Football Club Racing Club Lokeren (nicknamed Racing FC), but the team stopped its activity the next year. In 1923 was founded Racing Club Lokeren that registered the same year to the Belgian Football Association. Between 1945 and 1951, it had a short name change (to Racing Athletiek- en Football Club Lokeren) and the new name since 1951 was Koninklijke Racing Club Lokeren. Due to financial problems, the fusion with the other team from the town (Koninklijke Standaard F.C. Lokeren) became necessary in 1970. The new club was then named Koninklijke Sporting Club Lokeren. In 2000, the club merged with Koninklijke Sint-Niklaas S.K.E. to form Sporting Lokeren Sint-Niklaas Waasland. A last name change was made in 2003.
