About Club Brugge
Club Brugge were founded in 1891, which makes them one of the oldest clubs in Belgium, and the blauw-zwart — blue and black — have spent the century since making a medieval tourist town into a serious football address. This free Club Brugge quiz covers the whole story: the Jan Breydel Stadium — opened in 1975 as the Olympiastadion — which Club moved into that year and shared for decades with local rivals Cercle Brugge, the Belgian Clásico with Anderlecht, and the European run that took a Belgian club closer to the continent's biggest prize than any had gone before. If you know your Club, this is your test.
The peak came in 1978, when Club Brugge became the first Belgian club to reach a European Cup final, losing 1-0 to Liverpool at Wembley to a Kenny Dalglish goal. Two years earlier the same opponents had beaten them in the UEFA Cup final. The man who took them to Wembley was Ernst Happel, the Austrian who had already won the European Cup with Feyenoord in 1970 — a reminder of how small the map of great coaches really is. The club's own icon is Jan Ceulemans, who turned down Milan to stay in Bruges and captained Belgium to the World Cup semi-final in 1986.
Expect questions on the European nights, the Bruges derby, the managers and the players who defined the blue and black. You'll be asked which club beat Brugge in the 1978 final, who coached that side, and which ground — then still called the Olympiastadion — Club moved into in 1975. Difficulty climbs from easy openers about the colours and the city to genuinely hard deep cuts about specific finals, scorers and seasons.
