RSC Anderlecht

When you consider Constant Vanden Stock Stadium to have opened really depends on how strict you are with such things. Anderlecht built themselves a new stadium back in 1917 and in those days it had just one wooden stand. It was named after a wealthy patron named Émile Versé and concrete stands were built as the years went by. The reason there’s some confusion over whether the stadium that stands today has any real ties to the original one is that it was entirely knocked down and rebuilt in 1983. The club’s chairman of the day was Constant Vanden Stock and the newly build ground was named after him. Royal Sporting Club Anderlecht have called it their home ever since Émile Versé Stadium opened in 1917.
