Evere Sports Complex Opens Doors

The facility on Avenue des Anciens Combattants adds dedicated indoor space for clubs and residents. It addresses capacity needs in the Evere area through the €8.8 million Beliris investment. The 1,180m² sports hall is scheduled to welcome users in mid-August.

Funding Initiative Supports Neighbourhood Projects

The Brussels Government launched a €43 million initiative over three years to fund new sports infrastructure projects in neighbourhoods lacking facilities. All 19 municipalities can submit proposals until October. This programme targets areas with limited existing options for organised sport.

Heysel Plateau Sports Park Advances

A major €50 million Sports Park is planned on the Heysel Plateau near the Atomium. It will include a hockey pitch, athletics stadium with a 400m track, and synthetic rugby/football pitch. Construction is expected to finish by 2030.

Indoor Cricket Facility in Anderlecht

Brussels' first indoor cricket facility opened in Anderlecht at the Sint-Niklaas Institute. The space was adapted with nets for bowling and batting to attract youth to the sport.

Mabo Brussels Completes New Hall

Mabo Brussels opened a new playground and sports hall on January 15, 2026, concluding a two-year construction period to address capacity needs in the multilingual education network. The addition provides immediate use for school and community activities.

These developments supply concrete new venues and funding streams. Residents and clubs can track proposal deadlines and opening dates through municipal channels. Further project submissions under the €43 million initiative remain open until October.
