Introduction
June 2015 in a bar somewhere in Mechelen, Belgium
A group of friends decided between some beers to set up an own football club. But even with all the good intentions the Belgian Football Association didn’t want to give them a license to start.
Yet they wouldn’t throw in the towel . There must be a place in Europe where they could go and make their dream a reality. After wanderings in France , Netherlands , Germany, Spain , Luxembourg and they came back with empty hands. Their dream was already over before it all well begun.
Until unexpectedly a letter came in from the English Football Association who had picked up our story and invited us for a meeting . What could we expect from this meeting ? Would we succeed this time? Many questions but very few answers.
A week later we were in the waiting room of the English Football Association. Impatiently . After an hour speaking with the union president we came up with a great big smile and happy again outside . They were interested in our project and they were willing to give us a chance under some conditions .
So we had to , though this was rather an immense advantage , use the properties of the defunct Curzon Ashton. They so believed in our project and because we agreed to concentrate on young footballers we got a budget of 122K available to attract a base team.
After this incredible news, we started a race against time. We had a few weeks to put a decent team on its feet before would start the new season.

Start at the beginning of course . We dipped our team under the name VK Janneke & Mieke , main colors would be rose and our second color blue. We also renamed the stadium to " The Pink Arena" . The logo was presented to the press.
It was officially on July 1, 2015 , we were a semi-pro club in Varanama North. Now it was time to look for players who believe in our project and wanted to belong here .
The news spread like wildfire . We received applications within 100s . Both players and coaching staff. It would be long days lying in the prosperity, but this success we had not expected.
Note
