RSCA Women lift 12th cup, Saliba called up for World Cup

Cup glory: RSCA Women claim 12th Belgian Cup

A dominant 3–0 win over Zulte Waregem on Saturday delivered Anderlecht's women their twelfth Belgian Cup trophy. The final was effectively over before it really began, all three goals came early, and Zulte Waregem never found a way back into it (1) (2) (3).

This is the high point of a season of transition across the club. The men's side finished fourth and head into Europa League qualifiers in July, with sporting director Antoine Sibierski already laying out a rebuild rooted in restoring discipline and mentality. But Saturday belonged to the women, who handled the occasion like a team that has been here many times before.

Saliba gets Canada call for World Cup

Nathan Saliba has been named in the Canada squad for the 2026 World Cup. The Anderlecht midfielder gets his chance on the biggest stage, a proud moment for the academy and a storyline worth following through the summer (4).
