ah Lokeren. I remember them playing against Trabzonspor. out of this, I remember most of these names, eg. La Louviere from FIFA 2004. Are there any reasons why these Belgian clubs are getting bankrupt much more compared to other countries teams?
Yes, that's the case, some teams goes bankrupt, some teams are relegated to lower divisions then reappears (like KV Mechelen did early 2010's, Lierse SK renamed to Lierse Kempenzonen etc etc, Beerschot was relegated 2012 to third league I think).
This is not only bankrupcy problems, there are some: we have a systems of "licenses" that are allowed to clubs following a certain amount of criterias to be considered as "pro club", this is why some relegated clubs go to third league (amateur) and can not be kept to second (pro), because those criterias vary and change regularly they makes it difficult for not "top clubs" to stick to them when in difficult position. The second league was also reduced to 8 teams for a few years now due to those problems.
Some other cases are more specific, some teams are renamed (FC Brussels for example), RAA Louvière too (now on third league)...
