History The women's team of KVC Westerlo never played on the top 2 levels of Belgian women's football before the 2022–23 season. That season, coached by the Portuguese Coach Bruno Antunes, Westerlo Ladies played in the First National Division for the first time and immediately finished fifth. Because champion FC Kontich could not be promoted to the Super League, Westerlo was asked to take their place. However, this was refused because the club was not ready for it yet.Vrouwenvoetbal 17 April 2023
But the ambition to reach the highest level was there, and in the summer of 2023 Westerlo took over the coach and a large part of the players from champion FC Kontich. The budget was also increased fivefold.RTV Westerlo Ladies koopt kampioenenploeg Kontich leeg en gaat vol voor promotie, 3 May 2023.

After two years in the top division, however, the club decided to take a step back in the 2026/27 season and invest in its own youth at a lower level.VRT Westerlo Ladies trekt zich terug uit hoogste klasse vrouwenvoetbal om te investeren in jeugd, 11 February 2026.
