Football leagues resume in Netherlands and Belgium

Various regional and national football leagues are entering new phases of competition. In the Netherlands, amateur football in the Lekstroom region is resuming, with Omroep Lekstroom providing live coverage. Notably, FC Delta Sports ’95 has been promoted to the second class.

The Eredivisie will face an unusually long hiatus following the upcoming matchday. This pause is due to a FIFA decision to merge the September and October international breaks, meaning domestic play will not resume until October 9.

In Belgium, KV Kortrijk has announced a contract extension for Anthony Philips, who has signed until June 2029 with an option for two additional seasons. The player is noted as a successful product of the club's youth academy.
