Y.R. K.V. Mechelen is a Belgian football club from Mechelen in Antwerp province. It is occasionally known by its French name, FC Malines.

Contents

The club was founded in 1904, a few months after the birth of city rival K.R.C. Mechelen. The club had a first successful period in the 40s. During World War II, in 1943, the club won their first domestic title. The second title came a few years later, in 1946, and in 1948 the club was succesful again. After that, the club fell back. In 1954, they managed to finish third, only one point behind champion RSC Anderlecht, but that was their last good season. Two years later, Mechelen was relegated to second division. During the 60s and the 70s, Mechelen went up and down between the first and second division. The club enjoyed a brief spell of both domestic and European success in the period of 1987-1990. They are now today still the last Belgian team that won a European cup. K.V. Mechelen seemed to be on its way to becoming one of the top clubs in Belgium, but quickly declined when their chairman Cordier (who owned the rights to most of their players) was forced to sell many players due to his company's bad results. On June 10, 2007, the team achieved promotion to the Jupiler League.
