Biography
Formation
Sportvereniging Zulte Waregem, commonly known as Zulte Waregem or by their nickname Essevee, is a Belgian professional football club based in Waregem, West Flanders. The club was formed in 1950 as Zulte Sportief and became a member of the national association with matricule n° 5381. In 1976, Zulte Sportief merged with S.K. Zulte to form Zultse V.V. The significant merger occurred in 2001 when Zultse V.V. combined with KSV Waregem, a club with a long history in the first division. This merger marked a pivotal moment for the club, allowing it to achieve promotion to the second division for the first time in 2002.
Breakthrough
Zulte Waregem's rise in Belgian football was marked by their championship win in the 3rd division A in 2006, which set the stage for their ascent through the ranks. The club's most notable achievement came during the 2012–13 season when they finished as runners-up in the Belgian Pro League, their highest finish to date. This success led to their participation in the 2006–07 UEFA Cup, where they reached the round of 32, facing off against Newcastle United. They also made appearances in the Europa League group stages during the 2013–14 and 2017–18 seasons, showcasing their growing presence in European competitions.
Legacy
Zulte Waregem has a rich history of honors, including two Belgian Cup victories in 2005–06 and 2016–17, and they were runners-up in the Belgian Supercup in 2006 and 2017. The club's recent success in the Challenger Pro League, winning the title in 2024–25, has secured their place back in the Belgian Pro League for the 2025–26 season. With a strong foundation and a passionate fan base, Zulte Waregem continues to be a significant player in Belgian football, aiming for further success both domestically and in Europe.

Career & Clubs
Zulte Sportief was founded in 1950 and directly became a member of the national association (matricule n° 5381). The club Zultse V.V. (with the same matricule) was started after the 1976 merger between Zulte Sportief and S.K. Zulte. In 2001, the team merged with KSV Waregem, who had played in the first division for many years. No team from Zulte ever achieved promotion to the second division before SV Zulte Waregem in 2002. Zultse V.V., though, gained access to the third division in 1995. The club finished 14th out of 16 for two seasons and was relegated the second time after the playoff.
In 1999, the season in which it came back, Zultse finished fourth in this division. Two years later, the new club became champion of the 3rd division A. The registered office of Zulte Waregem lies in Zulte, but the club is based in the stadium of KSV Waregem in Waregem and the red and white colours of KSV Waregem prevail. The club got a chance to shine on the European stage during the 2006–07 UEFA Cup, reaching the round of 32, playing against English club Newcastle United, although they lost 4–1 on aggregate. Their second European appearance was in the 2013–14 season, as Zulte Waregem finished second in 2012–13 Belgian Pro League and qualified for the third qualifying stage of the 2013–14 UEFA Champions League, where they lost to PSV (5–0 on aggregate). Zulte Waregem dropped to the 2013–14 UEFA Europa League play-off round, where they defeated APOEL, drawing 1–1 at home and winning 1–2…
