They faced a long wait of 20 years before returning to the top tier, during which they had 15 seasons in the first division, although this was occasionally interrupted by stints in the second division, from 1976-77 to 1978-79 and again from 1980-81 to 1991-92. Furthermore, Kortrijk competed in the first division during the 1998-99 season, prior to rejoining the Belgian Pro League in the 2008-09 season. By James Agberebi.
