Erasmus University College Brussels advanced to the De Campus Cup finals after defeating Ghent University 6-3 in the semi-final.

Why the Finals Matter Now

The outcome places the Erasmus team against KU Leuven for the title. This stage of the university sports competition arrives as VUB organises its Sport Trophy series over the 2025-2026 period. The series brings together multiple student teams for regular events at one central location.

Venues and Organisers Involved

VUB runs the Sport Trophy events at its Etterbeek campus. The programme lists rugby, dodgeball, basketball, volleyball and futsal among the activities scheduled. Erasmus University College Brussels participates in the separate De Campus Cup, which draws teams from several higher-education institutions in the region. The Global Institute of Sport opened a campus at RSC Anderlecht’s Lotto Park in September 2024 and works with VUB on a Postgraduate Diploma in International Football Business.

Supporting Developments on Record

A new esports and exergaming campus is scheduled to open in 2026 through a partnership between KTA Brugge, school group Impact and Howest college. The facility is described as the first of its kind in Europe. These projects sit alongside the ongoing university competitions that use existing campuses and sports programmes already operating in Brussels.

The 6-3 semi-final score provides the most recent concrete result available for the De Campus Cup. VUB’s Sport Trophy continues through the stated two-year window without additional dates released in current records. The GIS campus addition from September 2024 supplies a direct link between local football infrastructure and university-level study options.

Next Steps for Participants

Teams and students can check official university channels for final match details and Sport Trophy schedules. The De Campus Cup outcome will be settled once the Erasmus and KU Leuven sides meet. Further information on the 2026 esports campus will appear as the project moves closer to launch.
