History
The club of Zwarte Duivels Oud-Heverlee registered with the Belgian FA in 1957. In season 1999-2000 it won the title of champion of the Promotion. During the 2001-02 season it played in the same league as neighbour K. Stade Leuven. At the end of that season, the city of Leuven wanted to improve the level of football played in the city and it was decided that three clubs, Zwarte Duivels Oud-Heverlee, K. Stade Leuven and K. Daring Club Leuven would merge. The new club kept the matricule N°6142 of the Zwarte Duivels Oud-Hevelee.
At the end of its first season, they lost in the 3rd division play-off final to Eendracht Aalst after they had finished 2nd in the 3rd division B, 5 points ahead of Tubize. After a 3rd place in the same division in season 2003-04, Oud-Heverlee Leuven finished 2nd once again in season 2004-05 and this time they won the play-off and subsequently entered the 2nd division competition in season 2005-06. In season 2007-08 they finished 3rd in the 2nd division with 61 points, however they then finished 4th and bottom of the subsequent promotion play-off league with 0 points after losing to Tubize, Royal Antwerp and Lommel United.
On Sunday the 24th of April 2011, Oud-Heverlee Leuven secured the 2010-11 2nd division title and gained promotion to the 1st division for season 2011-12, following a 2-2 draw at Royal Antwerp. They rounded off the season the following Sunday with a 2-0 home win against Lommel United, amassing a total of 73 points from 34 games and finishing 8 points ahead of 2nd placed Lommel United. Their promotion brought 1st division football to the city of Leuven for the first time since season 1949-50 when Stade Leuven finished bottom of the league and were relegated.
