KFC Turnhout

Turnhout managed to advance through the lower leagues, to play twice in the first division: in 1931 and 1936.

That same year the club was awarded the Royal title Koninklijke, and was called K.F.C.

It became apparent later that the doctor had applied blood doping to the player, but because of a wrongful connection in the machinery, an air embolism developed in the player's body.

In 2007, the club was sold to the Wadi Degla company of Egypt, which also owns Lierse S.K.
