Soevereinstadion (formerly called Stedelijk Sportstadion) is a football stadium in the Belgian city of Lommel.[1] It is the home ground of Lommel SK. The former club KFC Lommel SK also played its home matches here until 2002.
History
During the 2015–16 season, the stadium was adapted to meet the requirements for the Belgian First Division A. This followed the reform of Belgian football, in which the eight highest-ranked clubs that fulfilled the First Division A licensing conditions were given priority to participate in the renewed professional football system. Part of the standing terraces was replaced with seating. Before these renovations, the stadium had a capacity of 12,500 spectators, including 1,800 covered seats, 10,500 standing places, 433 outside seats, and 178 inside seats.[2]
After the renovations, the stadium contained a total of 5,000 seats and 3,000 standing places.[3]
