RSC Anderlecht recently secured a 3-1 victory over the Swedish side Hammarby IF, advancing them to the third qualifying round of the UEFA Europa League. This win not only marks an important milestone in their European journey but also necessitates adjustments to the Belgian football calendar. As a result, RSC Anderlecht's upcoming match against KV Kortrijk has been rescheduled for September 3rd at 8:30 PM local time at the Lotto Park in Anderlecht.
The Jupiler Pro League announced this change on Friday, stating that Anderlecht’s European commitments require them to prepare adequately. This is not an isolated incident; previously, STVV and Union's match was also postponed for similar reasons. The return leg of Anderlecht’s Europa League tie against PAOK Saloniki will be played on August 6th and 13th.
In other European news, AA Gent has also qualified for the UEFA Conference League, setting up a clash with IFK Göteborg. Both matches are scheduled to take place on August 6th and 13th respectively. These changes highlight the significant impact of Anderlecht’s European success on the domestic schedule.
