Overview

The Croky Cup, Belgium’s national football cup organized by the Belgian Football Union, traces its origins to the 1911‑12 season and has undergone several format changes, including a suspension during World War I, a revival in 1926, and a rebranding to “Croky Cup” in 2015 after new sponsorship. It remains open to all clubs affiliated with the Union, with lower‑division teams entering early rounds and top‑division clubs joining at the round of 16.

In July 2026, Wezel Sport B advanced to the next stage of the competition with a 3‑1 win over Linkhout A, while KV Kortrijk’s coach highlighted the need for additional signings to bolster squad depth ahead of the forthcoming season. These reports illustrate the cup’s ongoing role in Belgian football, linking its historic structure to current match outcomes and club preparations.
