It was a night to remember for TTC Sokah Hoboken as they clinched their first-ever Belgian Superdivision title in spectacular fashion, defeating PW Diest 5–1 in the final match of the season. Though the victory was dominant, the result bore little consequence—Sokah had already mathematically secured the championship before the tie, capping off a flawless campaign.
For a club that has long hovered near the summit, this title marks the end of a long wait. Over the past 15 years, Sokah had finished runners-up 11 times and placed third on three occasions. The only exception came during the pandemic-disrupted season. Their persistence has finally been rewarded with a historic breakthrough.
What makes Sokah’s triumph even more remarkable is the manner in which it was achieved. They completed the season without dropping a single point—an accomplishment not seen since 2010, when Le Logis Auderghem, led by the legendary Jean-Michel SAIVE, accomplished the same feat.
Under the banner of excellence, Sokah’s squad blended international experience with local talent: Quentin ROBINOT, Pär GERELL, Benjamin BROSSIER, Olav KOSOLOSKY, Noah Di PIETRO.
Their collective strength and consistency proved too much for every opponent they faced this season, including a strong Diest team featuring Aleksey SMIRNOV, Pavel PLATONOV, Diogo CARVALHO, Yannick VOSTES, and Koyo KANAMITSU.
The season is not over just yet. On May 29, TTC Sokah Hoboken and PW Diest will cross paths once more—this time in the final of the Belgian Cup. Sokah will aim to complete a dream season with a domestic double, while Diest will seek redemption and silverware of their own.
