V.C. Eendracht Aalst 2002 is a Belgian football club based in Aalst, East Flanders.

It changed name in 2002 after former Jupiler League club K.S.C. Eendracht Aalst had gone into liquidation. So they could not get the license and the new team began at the third division level. They played the next two seasons in second division (2003-2005) and are now back to the third division as they finished last. While the 2004-05 championship was over, the club needed to know if Jupiler League side F.C. Brussels and second division side R.E. Virton were to receive the professional football license to know where they would play next season. Indeed, while 17th K. Patro Maasmechelen had no license, they were obviously relegated. So if one of the two submentionned clubs were refused the license, Aalst would have had played the third division playoffs while if they were both refused the license, Aalst would have remained in second division. Finally, both clubs did receive it so the team was relegated.
