History

20th century: foundation and stability

KFC Moerbeke was founded on 1 April 1927. For many years, it was a steady staple in the lowest tier 4th Provincial Division with short interludes in the 3rd Provincial.

21st century: 2nd Provincial Division

In 2007, Moerbeke won another 4th Division section championship. In 2011, the club won a championship in the 3rd Provincial Division, after a 1–0 victory over HRS Haasdonk, promoting KFC to the 2nd Provincial Division. In 2018, chairman André De Keyser was replaced by Patrick Notteboom. Since 2019, Moerbeke's main field is an artificial turf. KFC started the 2019–2020 season with large victories over VKS Hamme Zogge (2–7) and Herleving Sint Pauwels (4–1). In 2022, Moerbeke failed to return to the 2nd Provinciale after a last round 1–5 defeat against SK Lochristi. In 2023, it returned to the 2nd Provincial Division.
