The Brussels Black Angels are an American football team based in Brussels.The Black Angels were members of the Flemish American Football League (FAFL) conference in the Belgian Football League (BFL). They are currently playing in the Belgium Netherlands League (BNL).

History

[edit ]
  • 1987: Creation of the Waterloo All Stars
  • 1989: Creation of the Brussels Angels American Football Club
  • 1994: The Brussels Angels become an ASBL
  • 2002: The Brussels Angels become the Brussels Black Angels[1]

The American football team Brussels Angels actually originates in 1987 from the Waterloo All Stars because, at the time, they benefited from installations located in Waterloo. The team was founded by José Braga.

After a stay in Forest then in Uccle, where the team acquired its name of Brussels Angels, it finally settled in Woluwe Saint Lambert (better infrastructure, access and organisation, stadium of 9000 seats, etc.).

It is thus in 1989 that the Brussels Angels American Football Club was really created. At the time there were 17 players and the team participated in the Belgian championship organised by the Belgian Football League (BFL), itself founded in 1985 by a small group of Belgo-American amateurs. Under the impulse of coach Shariar Broumand, the sixth year of competition in second division saw the team winning the title of Champion of second division which allowed it to participate in the first division championship (2nd Division).

During the 1994 season the team officially became an ASBL. In constant progression, the Brussels Angels will finally reach the championship's final in 1996 and will reiterate this achievement in 1997 and 1998 unfortunately without ever winning the much dreamed of title of Champion of Belgium. Being semi-finalist will nevertheless allow the Angels to participate in the European competitions in 1997 and 1998. The two following years (1999 and 2000) saw the best Belgian, Dutch and Luxembourg teams compete in a Benelux championship, where the Angels took part thanks to their high level of play. Twice the team will reach the semi-finals.

2001–2003

[edit ]

The new millennium saw the arrival of two new coaches, Tuck MacRae and Rob Lake, followed in 2001 by Karl Heineman and Blake Turvey. The year 2001 corresponded also to the creation of a new committee led by Alexis Forrest with the aim to boost the team and renew its players and the results would not be long to come with a title of Belgian Champions in 2003. This coincided with the arrival of two new coaches, Tom Munson and Morris Jablonka, replacing Blake Turvey and Rob Lake.
