Belgian and Dutch amateur and lower-division sports clubs are beginning their new competitive seasons. In Belgium, clubs such as DHC Waasmunster and KJV Kruibeke are focusing on youth integration and training preparations, while football clubs like RWDM navigate divisional changes following relegation.

As the season progresses, match preparations continue across the region. In the Dutch Derde Divisie A, DVS’33 Ermelo is attempting to secure its first points following a winless start. In the Belgian 3de amateur B league, ASV Geel is preparing for its season opener despite facing a three-point deficit caused by the postponement of a derby match against Turnhout due to organizational and safety concerns.
