Club Brugge FC recently wrapped up the 2024-25 season and is entering the new 2025-26 campaign with a refreshed squad and continued ambitions in the Belgian Pro League and European qualifiers. Their latest league position stands at sixth place after two matchdays, with one win and one loss, as they work to climb up the table early in the season[1][3][5].
Significant transfer activity has taken place in the summer window, including notable incoming players such as goalkeeper Aleksandar Stankovic from Inter and forward Carlos Forbs from Ajax. Outbound moves feature Maxime De Cuyper’s transfer to Brighton & Hove Albion and Casper Nielsen’s transfer to Standard Liège[6]. The club has also secured contract renewals and brought in other promising names like Nicolò Tresoldi from Hannover 96 and Christos Tzolis, who extended his contract until June 2029[6].
On the tactical front, recent matches have seen a consistent starting XI featuring key players such as goalkeeper Simon Mignolet, defenders Bjorn Mechele and Jorne Spileers, midfielders Hans Vanaken and Hugo Vetlesen, and attackers Christos Tzolis and Romeo Vermant[1]. Brugge plays at the Jan Breydelstadion, which remains their longstanding home with a capacity of 29,042.
Youth side Club Brugge II has also made moves during the 2025 summer transfer window, signing Samuel Gomez van Hoogen from PSV and Rayan Buifrahi from MVV Maastricht, demonstrating the club’s ongoing investment in youth development[2].
