KV Mechelen has finally realized its dream by qualifying for the Champions’ Play-Offs in the Jupiler Pro League. On March 15, 2026, the club experienced an unforgettable evening with a 1-0 victory against RSC Anderlecht, which brought them to sixth place in the league. With 29 points accumulated in the regular season, this achievement marks a milestone for the club. Myron van Brederode was the star of the season, not only as the top scorer with 9 goals but also as the assist king with 5 assists. Despite the playing level not being significantly higher than in previous years, KV Mechelen managed to achieve some major victories against teams like Club Brugge and Antwerp. Under the guidance of coach Fred Vanderbiest, the club returned to the fundamental principles of hard work and solid defending. This led to a place in the top six, but in the Play-Offs, KV Mechelen faced its limits. The victory against Gent remains a memorable achievement that fans will never forget. Myron van Brederode, along with defenders like Redouane Halhal and Fredrik Hammar, played a crucial role in the team's success. Vanderbiest has seized his second chance as head coach and led the club to new heights.
