History

In 1975, VK Dadizele joined the Belgian FA, receiving matricule 8264. The club never left the Belgian Provincial Leagues, but almost gained promotion to the national level in 2019 via the promotion playoffs.

In 2021, the club merged with K.S.V. Roeselare, which had just gone bankrupt while playing in the Belgian National Division 1 (third level). The club continued as SK Roeselare-Daisel using the matricule of VK Dadizele and continuing from the level of Dadizele (at that time the sixth level (First Provincial Division West-Flanders)). In its first season, the club was immediately promoted to the national leagues after finishing second.

In 2023, the name was changed to SK Roeselare and at the end of the season after finishing 4th, the club promoted to Belgian Division 2 via end of season promotion playoffs.
