What is the history behind the club? Who runs the Wezembeek Wanderers Football Club (WEZWA FC) today?
The club started in 1990 on an area of grassland behind the convent in Wezembeek-Oppem. As it grew in popularity, it moved up the road to pitches owned by the British School of Brussels in Tervuren. WEZWA FC has always been run by volunteers who love the beautiful game and want to share the spirit of fair play, enjoyment and inclusivity to both boys and girls from the ages of 6 to 16. In 2021 Wezwa FC moved back to train in Wezembeek-Oppem at the commune's football club on Sportpleinstraat.
