K.F.C. Verbroedering Geel is a Belgian football club, from the city of Geel in Antwerp (province).

[edit] History

The club was born in 1912 and registered in 1924 to the Belgian Football Association receiving the matricule n° 395. It played for the first time in the second division in 1985-86. In 1999-2000 it appeared shortly in the first division as it won the second division final round. At this time the club merged with neighbours from K.F.C. Herentals leaving both name and matricule of the latter club.

On November 30, 2005 Verbroedering Geel is judged by the Control Commission of the FA for having falsified the 2004-05 second division final round and is subsequently downgraded to the third division. The judgement was confirmed on March 1, 2006 after what chairman Vic Keersmaekers resigned. Eventually on April 13, 2006 the Evocation Commission cancelled the decision of the Control Commission. Though on May 3, 2006 it was confirmed by the Appeal Commission of the FA that the club would be relegated. It thus seized the Evocation Commission. The Executive Committee of the FA decided on May 8, 2006 to let Geel play the 2005-06 second division final round although the rules of the competition state that a relegated club cannot take part to the final round. On June 15, 2006 the Evocation Commission rejected the plaint of Geel and the club was then officially relegated to the third division, permitting K.M. S.K. Deinze to avoid relegation.
