Following the Board of Directors of OHL, the General Assembly has unanimously approved the proposal of the King Power Group regarding the acquisition of the cvba OH Leuven. An agreement was signed by both parties in which the agreements relating to the acquisition were recorded. The King Power group was the only candidate buyer who made a clear, written and coherent proposal within the time limit imposed by the Board of Directors. This procedure was followed in consultation with the three independent directors appointed last year at the request of the city of Leuven. The takeover plans were also explained at the shipbuilding of the city of Leuven last Friday.

OHL has chosen a project that provides the most guarantees for the future of the club, both financially and sportally. The project provides sufficient financial resources for ambitious return to first class A. It also ensures that youth work can be maintained at its current level and further expanded. In addition, local anchoring is maintained as the youth work, social activity and stadium performance are fully in Leuven's hands.

The transfer will be formally completed after the usual period of due diligence. The King Power group remains a priority in the community, as well as good cooperation with the various support groups and further development of youth work, all linked to a major sporting ambition for the first team.

Nope, if they finish top 4 in second division they play qualifications for Europa League with first division teams...Only if they win this final, they can get Europa League...So, still a long way to go
