In 1998 Boom FC merged with Rupel (a club named after the Rupel River) to form the Koninklijke (Royal) Rupel Boom Football Club. Nathan Crockett found out about the club when it was days away from bankruptcy and bought the club from a Spanish investment group (Rising Phoenix). The team is known for its tenacity (hence the Pitbull mascot) and for representing a working town (hence the nickname “Brickmakers”).
The Crockett family has enjoyed making so many new friends in Belgium. The city of Boom is located directly between Brussels and Antwerp, Belgium’s two largest and most significant cities. Beyond their 9,000 seat stadium, Rupel Boom also operates an outstanding youth academy with excellent facilities, training about 400 youngsters a season.

The Tomorrowland park complex is directly next door to the Rupel Boom youth academy facilities.
