Stadium Information

The Guldensporenstadion is the stadium of K.V. Kortrijk, located in the city of Kortrijk, Belgium. Inaugurated on August 17, 1947, this venue has witnessed the evolution and growth of the club over the decades. 

With a capacity for 9,399 spectators, the stadium has undergone several renovations, notably in 1988 and 2008. The latest was carried out after K.V. Kortrijk's promotion to the Belgian First Division, at which time its capacity was increased from the original 6,896 seats. 

The name “Guldensporenstadion” translates to “Stadium of the Golden Spurs”, in reference to the historic Battle of the Golden Spurs fought in Kortrijk in 1302. This designation pays tribute to a significant event in local history, adding cultural value to the sports venue. 

Following the tragedy of Heysel in 1985, UEFA raised safety standards in football stadiums. As a result, in January 1988, the main stand of Guldensporenstadion was demolished and replaced with a new structure that complied with current regulations. This renovation increased the stadium's capacity to 15,000 spectators at that time.
