The Club de Bruges and the Union Saint-Gilloise have affirmed themselves as the best representatives of Belgian football on the European stage. Their recent victories against teams like the Rangers and the PSV Eindhoven demonstrate their ability to compete with the best in Europe. This steady performance, supported by regular participations in continental competitions and sales of lucrative players, has created a positive momentum. The Union Saint-Gilloise, in particular, has demonstrated its strength by winning important victories, confirming its status as a rising force in Belgian football.

The economic impact of these European successes is considerable. Participation in the Champions League earns significant sums, and league-phase victories add to these revenues. The sales of players, in particular those made by Bruges and the Union, generate significant profits which far exceed the revenues of sports participation. These sums, although considerable for Belgian clubs, help to widen the gap between these two teams and the rest of the championship. This domination translates into a higher overall level of play in the Pro League, highlighting the distance between the leaders and the rest of the peloton.

In the medium to long term, it is likely that the Union Saint-Gilloise and the Club de Bruges will continue to dominate the Belgian championship, as do the Scottish clubs that dominate their national championships. The financial and sporting situation of other clubs, such as the Antwerp, La Gantoise, Anderlecht and the Standard, does not facilitate competition. It is therefore essential to celebrate the success of these two teams, while hoping that this domination will not result in a lack of overall competitiveness in Belgian football.
