Relegated to Division 1B at the end of the general assembly of the Pro League last Friday, which put an end to the season 2019-2020 football, Waasland-Beveren has the intention to defend to attempt to keep in D1A.

"We believe that the Pro League has not complied with their own statutes," said to Sporza, Tom Rombouts, counsel for Waasland-Beveren. "It was necessary to invite clubs to participate in the meeting eight days prior to this one. This was done four days before, and the agenda has been amended two times on the same day. It was one of the largest meetings of the Pro League, but it is not happening in the correct manner and therefore is not valid from a legal point of view ".
