✨ AI Insight

Brussels dominate with 58 titles, more than double second-placed Bruges on 23, and the capital's total is spread across five different clubs led by Anderlecht with 34 and Union Saint-Gilloise with 12. This makes Brussels unusually deep rather than reliant on one giant, a pattern rare in European football. Bruges is the opposite, with Club Brugge supplying 20 of its 23. Liege on 15 and Antwerp on 12 complete the group of major football cities. The tail is remarkably flat, with Lier, Mechelen and Genk tied on four each and Beveren on two, showing that Belgium's smaller towns have historically been able to win the league in a way that is impossible in Spain or Portugal.
