Union suffered a 5–0 defeat against Club Brugge. Vanaken opened the scoring with a long-range shot, Seys doubled the lead, and before half-time Vanaken added a third with a header. The Brussels side took control in the second half, but couldn’t find a goal. Tzolis struck on the counterattack to make it 4–0. It briefly looked like Mac Allister had scored a consolation with a stunning goal, but VAR ruled it offside. In added time, Forbs scored Club Brugge’s fifth.

Our Unionists could not count on the suspended Zorgane, Mac Allister and Burgess. They were replaced by Schoofs, Sylla and Leysen. Biondic opened the scoring early on. A few minutes later, Scherpen denied Van Brederode the equaliser. After the break, Ait El Hadj and substitute Fuseini sealed the win: 3-0.
Recyclability will be a key factor in the selection of materials, in addition to carbon footprint.
The stadium will feature 300 solar panels installed on the roof. These will make the offices and the ground floor nearly self-sufficient in terms of heating and lighting.
For hot water production, the project calls for the use of heat pumps, which reduces the facilities’ environmental footprint.
An underfloor heating system combined with a geothermal field is planned for Union’s employee office area and the ground floor. This system operates using high-efficiency water-to-water heat pumps, which minimizes energy consumption.
It is essential for the club that the stadium be exemplary from an environmental perspective, whether in terms of mobility, land reuse (despite the complexity this entails), biodiversity, water management, energy, and the materials used.
Furthermore, the permitting process imposes strict standards on all aspects related to sustainability: the permit will only be granted if all criteria are met. These are very strict safeguards to ensure that the project does not come at the expense of the environment and the quality of life.
On the contrary, numerous regional bodies (perspective.brussels, Bruxelles Mobilité, urban.brussels, Bruxelles Environnement, Bruxelles Propreté, Brussels Midi Police Zone, etc.) and municipal authorities have shared their comments and the issues to be taken into account, and we thank them for this.
In 2020, Union Saint-Gilloise appointed a team of architects: ESA and KSS, who have extensive experience in the construction of soccer stadiums, both in Belgium and abroad.
