Club Brugge Koninklijke Voetbalvereniging, commonly known as Club Brugge, is a prominent Belgian professional football club based in Bruges, officially founded on November 13, 1891. Playing in the Belgian Pro League at the Jan Breydel Stadium, they stand as one of the nation's most decorated teams, boasting an impressive 19 national league titles—second only to rivals Anderlecht—and a record 12 Belgian Cups.

The club holds a unique place in Belgian football history as the only Belgian side ever to reach the final of the prestigious European Cup (now UEFA Champions League) in 1978, where they ultimately lost to Liverpool, the same opponent who defeated them in the 1976 UEFA Cup Final. A golden era in the late 1970s saw them win three consecutive league championships under legendary Austrian manager Ernst Happel, solidifying their domestic dominance. Beyond these achievements, Club Brugge also holds European records for 20 consecutive UEFA Europa League participations and a record 18 Belgian Super Cups, underscoring their consistent presence at the top level of the sport.
