Koninklijke Rupel Boom FC is a Belgian association football club based in Boom, Antwerp province currently playing in the Belgian Third Division. They play at the Gemeentelijk Parkstadion in Boom. ==History== K. Rupel Boom FC was founded in 1998, a result of a merger between K. Boom F.C. and Rupel SK. The club started playing in the regional third division of the Belgian provincial leagues. In 1999 they were promoted to the regional second division and in 2001 to the regional first division. In 2004 the club reached the Nationwide Fourth Division. In its first season they reached the playoffs and won promotion to the Belgian Third Division. But, after only one season, K. Rupel Boom FC were relegated back to Fourth Division. It all began in 2008. The club again won promotion to the Belgian Third Division, and in 2009 they narrowly missed a ticket for the promotion playoffs. After being on top of the league since mid September 2009, the club fell back and were beaten by K.S.K. Heist with only one match to play. As runner-up of the regular season, they played the promotion playoffs in which they defeated Eendracht Aalst in the first round (4–0:3–4) and R.O.C. de Charleroi-Marchienne in the second round (2–2:0–2). The final was played against U.R.S. du Centre (1–0: 4:4). And so, at the end of the 2009–2010 season, Rupel Boom were promoted to the Belgian Second Division. Rupel Boom have now been promoted for the sixth time in twelve years. They began in the regional third division back in 1998 and are now playing on the second highest level in Belgium. In November 2010, Peter Van Wambeke was fired as head coach after a string of bad results. He became the first trainer in Rupel Boom history to be prematurely released off his contract. In December 2010, Rupel Boom appointed Yves Cloots as the new head coach of the club. Cloots was Technical Manager with KV Mechelen and head coach of Rapid Leest. This change in head coach did not have the desired effect, and after the 2010–2011 season, Rupel Boom were relegated back to Belgian Third Division. For the 2011–2012 season, Johan Houben was appointed as the new manager. The club will be competing in the Belgian Third Division. During this season, Rupel Boom had a very successful cup run, beating Acrenoise (Belgian Promotion), Boussu Dour (Belgian Second Division), Oud-Heverlee Leuven (Belgian First Division) and Belgian Record Champion Anderlecht against all odds. For Anderlecht, it was the first time since 1954 that they were eliminated by a Third Division team. Rupel Boom then lost the quarter finals against Mons. In May 2013 player Alexander Bell was selected for Scotland u20 for international youth tournament in Den Haag, Netherlands. The 2013–2014 season started good, with a first place after 5 games. But after a series of heavy losses, trainer Johan Houben stepped down as manager. Club captain and icon Jerry Poorters also resigned from the club. Frank Staes was appointed new manager of the club in September 2013. In his first game in charge, Rupel Boom won against KSV Standaard Wetteren with 2–0, after being reduced to 9 men after 40 minutes of play, with a 0–0 on the board. The team ended a disappointing season in 13th place, just 3 points above the relegation places. Halfway through the 2014–2015 season, head coach Frank Staes resigned and was replaced by assistant Serge Van Den Stock, who eventually signed a two-year contract with the club. With Van Den Stock, Rupel Boom won 6 of its last 11 matches, and drew 2. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「K. Rupel Boom F.C.」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
