The club was founded towards the end of 1923 and officially registered on 23 January 1924 with the Belgian FA.
Hooger Op immediately relegated back into the provincial divisions but was able to return three seasons later, in 1937.
This time they were paired with SC Louvain, but again immediately relegated back, never to return at the national level.
Shortly after World War II, Hooger Op merged with athletics club Olympic, which was suffering from financial difficulties and from that point continued as Hooger Op Leuven Athletics Club.
In the meantime, SC Louvain and Victoria FC Louvain had merged into Daring Club Leuven and in 1949 Hooger Op merged into this team as well, ceasing to exist.
