K, or k, is the eleventh letter in the Latin alphabet, used in the modern English alphabet, the alphabets of other western European languages and others worldwide. Its name in English is kay (pronounced ), plural kays."K" Oxford English Dictionary, 2nd edition (1989); Merriam-Webster's Third New International Dictionary of the English Language, Unabridged (1993); "kay," op. cit. The letter K usually represents the voiceless velar plosive. == History == Egyptian hieroglyph D Proto-Sinaitic K Proto-Canaanite kap Phoenician kaph Greek Kappa Latin K d 25px 25px 25px 40px Latin K The letter K comes from the Greek letter Κ (kappa), which was taken from the Semitic kaph, the symbol for an open hand."K". The Oxford English Dictionary, 2nd ed., 1977, online This, in turn, was likely adapted by Semitic tribes who had lived in Egypt from the hieroglyph for "hand" representing /ḏ/ in the Egyptian word for hand, ⟨ḏ-r-t⟩ (likely pronounced in Old Egyptian). The Semites evidently assigned it the sound value instead, because their word for hand started with that sound. K was brought into the Latin alphabet with the name ka /kaː/ to differentiate it from C, named ce (pronounced /keː/) and Q, named qu and pronounced /kuː/. In the earliest Latin inscriptions, the letters C, K and Q were all used to represent the sounds and (which were not differentiated in writing). Of these, Q was used before a rounded vowel (e.g. 'ego'), K before /a/ (e.g. 'calendis'), and C elsewhere. Later, the use of C and its variant G replaced most usages of K and Q. K survived only in a few fossilized forms such as Kalendae, "the calends". After Greek words were taken into Latin, the Kappa was transliterated as a C. Loanwords from other alphabets with the sound were also transliterated with C. Hence, the Romance languages generally use C, in imitating Classical Latin's practice, and have K only in later loanwords from other language groups. The Celtic languages also tended to use C instead of K, and this influence carried over into Old English. == Pronunciation and use == Pronunciations of Kk Language Dialect(s) Pronunciation (IPA) Environment Notes Esperanto hard Faroese hard soft Greek soft Latinization hard Latinization Icelandic soft soft, lenited hard hard, lenited Mandarin Standard Pinyin latinization Norwegian soft hard Swedish hard soft Turkish soft hard === English === English is now the only Germanic language to productively use "hard" (outside the digraph ) rather than (although Dutch uses it in loan words of Latin origin, and the pronunciation of these words follows the same hard/soft distinction as in English). The letter is silent at the start of an English word when it comes before the letter , as in the words "knight," "knife," "knot," "know," and "knee". Like J, X, Q, and Z, the letter K is not used very frequently in English. It is the fifth least frequently used letter in the English language, with a frequency in words of about 0.8%. === Number === In the International System of Units (SI), the SI prefix for one thousand is kilo-, officially abbreviated as k: for example, prefixed to metre/meter or its abbreviation m, kilometre or km signifies a thousand metres. As such, people occasionally represent numbers in a non-standard notation by replacing the last three zeros of the general numeral with K, as in 30K for 30,000. === Other languages === In most languages where it is employed, this letter represents the sound (with or without aspiration) or some similar sound. === Other systems === The International Phonetic Alphabet uses for the voiceless velar plosive. == Related characters == === Ancestors, descendants and siblings === * 𐤊 : Semitic letter Kaph, from which the following symbols originally derive * Κ κ/ϰ : Greek letter Kappa, from which K derives * К к : Cyrillic letter Ka, also derived from Kappa * K with diacritics: Ƙ ƙ, Ꝁ ꝁ, Ḱ ḱ, Ǩ ǩ, Ḳ ḳ, Ķ ķ, ᶄ, Ⱪ ⱪ, Ḵ ḵ ** Ꞣ and ꞣ were used in Latvian orthography before 1921 *The Uralic Phonetic Alphabet uses various forms of the letter K: ** ** ** *ₖ : Subscript small k was used in the Uralic Phonetic Alphabet prior to its formal standardization in 1902 *Ʞ ʞ : Turned capital and small k were used in transcriptions of the Dakota language in publications of the American Board of Ethnology in the late 19th century.

The K & L Avenue Landfill, also known by the spelling K&L; Avenue Landfill, is an Superfund site accessed from KL Avenue in Oshtemo Township, Kalamazoo County, Michigan. It is one of six Superfund sites in the Kalamazoo River watershed. The site was used as a sanitary landfill, first by Oshtemo Township from the 1960s until 1968, and then by Kalamazoo County. Landfill operations stopped in 1979 upon the discovery of contaminants in residential wells. Groundwater in the area was found to be contaminated with volatile organic compounds, phenols, and heavy metals, with localized polychlorinated biphenyl contamination in soils. In 1980 and 1981, impacted residences variously had new wells installed or were connected to a public water supply by the Kalamazoo County government. Additional residences were transferred to public water supplies in 1999 and 2004. In 2005 and 2006, a landfill cap was constructed, and in March 2008, the landfill's passive gas vents were replaced with a gas extraction system intended to address the generation of methane by the landfill. Groundwater contaminants determined to be (or to have formerly been) present at the site include: == See also == * List of Superfund sites in Michigan == References == Category:Superfund sites in Michigan Category:Geography of Kalamazoo County, Michigan Category:Landfills in the United States

The K Eighth Avenue Local, earlier the AA, was a rapid transit service of the New York City Subway. Its route bullet was colored on station signs, car rollsigns, and the official subway map since it ran on the IND Eighth Avenue Line. The K operated during midday, evenings, and weekends, making local stops between 168th Street in Washington Heights, Manhattan and World Trade Center in Lower Manhattan via Central Park West and Eighth Avenue in Manhattan. During late night hours, the A express made local stops on the IND Eighth Avenue Line. During rush hours, the , formerly the , ran between Bedford Park Boulevard and Euclid Avenue, replacing the K as the local on Eighth Avenue. It was discontinued in 1988 as part of a series of major service changes. ==History== ===Service as the AA=== thumb|Sixth Avenue Subway Will Be Opened to the Public at 12:01 A.M. Sunday, Dec 15, 1940 and AA service began on September 10, 1932 with the opening of the IND Eighth Avenue Line. The Independent Subway System (IND) used single letters to refer to express services and double letters for local services. The ran express and the AA ran local, from 168th Street to Hudson Terminal (now World Trade Center). The AA ran at all times, and it was extended to 207th Street during nights and on Sundays when the did not run. When the Eighth Avenue Line was extended to Jay Street–Borough Hall on February 1, 1933 the AA was extended there evenings and Sundays, when the did not run. On July 1, 1933, the AA was suspended when the Concourse Line opened and the new service provided local service on Eighth Avenue in its place. A service began running express in Manhattan at all times. AA service was restored as part of changes made in conjunction with the opening of the IND Sixth Avenue Line on December 15, 1940. The AA would only run during non-rush hours and Saturday late afternoon through all day Sunday service to Chambers Street. Rush hours, which at the time included Saturday mornings and afternoons, the AA did not run; it was replaced by the BB (later ) service, which instead ran on the Sixth Avenue Line. On January 5, 1952, AA service began operating during Saturday mornings and afternoons, replacing BB service. This pattern was unchanged until August 28, 1977, when late night service was replaced by an all local service. ===Service as the K=== thumb|This brochure was published in 1985 to explain the relabeling of double- letter subway services, including the creation of the K.

K (Hondeghem) Battery is a battery of 5th Regiment Royal Artillery in the Royal Artillery. It currently serves in the Surveillance and Target Acquisition role and is equipped with MAMBA, a type of weapon locating radar. ==History== K Battery was formed by the East India Company as 2nd Troop Bengal Horse Artillery on 4 August 1809 in Acra, India, with the majority of the other ranks being British. This fact and that the battery were all mounted to ensure greater manoeuvrability, was unusual during this period. During the next 100 years the battery came under command of the Bengal Horse Artillery then the Royal Horse Artillery and is now under command of the Royal Artillery. In 1939, K Battery was the last Royal Horse Artillery battery to be mechanised. At outbreak of the Second World War, K Battery was the current Riding Troop at St John's Wood, and the battery joined 5th RHA, serving alongside G Battery, as part of the British Expeditionary Force during the Fall of France, consisting of D, E and F Troops. It was during the retreat to Dunkirk in 1940 with the British Expeditionary Force, that the battery gained its honour title. With the BEF retreating towards the Belgian coast as the German forces streamed through Belgium, the small village of Hondeghem lay on one of the Germans' main lines of advance and it became essential to hold it. However, the only troops available were K Battery and a detachment of one officer and 80 men of the 2nd Searchlight Regiment, Royal Artillery. The battery was armed with First World War Mark II 18-pounder guns which had been modernised by the fitting of road wheels and pneumatic tyres. Two of the guns of 'F' Troop were situated inside the village and the other two on the outskirts of the village. At about 07:30 on the morning of the 27 May the enemy, in the form of 6th Panzer Division, appeared and were engaged by the two outer guns. These guns destroyed several enemy vehicles and two or three tanks as they approached. An enemy tank closed on gun of J Sub Section firing its machine gun, the number 2 was killed. The tank then fired its main armament and scored a direct hit killing another member of the detachment and wounding Gunner Manning and Troop Sergeant Major Opie. Small arms fire poured into the gun pit wounding Gunner Manning again, but he gallantly insisted on remaining in action. The enemy tank was then engaged by the gun of I Sub Section just before it was destroyed while enemy infantry dashed in and captured the last few men of J Sub Section. Gunner Manning was taken to hospital by the Germans but died later of his injuries. The battle then surged into the streets of the village, with continuous, violent and sometimes confused street fighting was carried out for the next eight hours. The two remaining guns kept firing throughout at a very reduced range, as the Germans tried to establish machine guns in the upper windows of the houses. Throughout the day, as the battle continued, the guns were constantly being moved to fresh targets firing at 100 yards or less, but by 3pm the gun ammunition began running short, so the artillerymen used their rifles to fire at any Germans who showed their heads. Then at 4:15pm it was decided to try to save the last two guns and the survivors of the small force headed towards St Sylvestre, where the village was found to be occupied by the Germans with both infantry and medium tanks. It was now that the troop commander decided that the best course of action was to charge the enemy without delay. So at his command every man shouted at the top of their voice and assaulted the German position. The Germans lost their nerve and ran. After firing what little ammunition they had into the surrounding countryside, the little column resumed its retreat. The battery had suffered heavy losses, with 'F' Troop alone losing 45 men out of 63. However, they were rewarded with Major Hoare being awarded the D.S.O., Captain Teacher the M.C., Battery Sergeant Major Millard receiving the D.C.M., and Gunner Kavanagh was honoured with the M.M. In addition three men were Mentions-In-Despatches. After evacuation at Dunkirk the battery was rebuilt, with men from it going to help form CC Battery, as part of the re-organisation of the Royal Artillery, with the battery consisting of D and E/F Troops. It then, served along with G Battery and CC Battery, in 5th RHA, originally sailing to the Middle East as part of 8th Armoured Division, before 5 RHA joined 7th Armoured Division. It served in North Africa, Italy and North West Europe. ==See also== *British Army *Royal Artillery *Royal Horse Artillery *List of Royal Artillery Batteries *Bengal Horse Artillery Batteries ==References== ==Bibliography== * ==External links== * *The Royal Artillery Association *Royal Artillery Today *Ubique Collection *Fire Power Museum Category:Royal Artillery batteries Category:1809 establishments in British India Category:Military units and formations established in 1809
K was a streetcar line in Los Angeles, California. It was operated by the Los Angeles Railway from 1913 to 1941. ==History== The East Jefferson and 38th Street line opened on February 1, 1913. It ran from Main Street and Jefferson Avenue to East 38th Street and Ascot Avenue via Jefferson, Central Avenue, and East 38th Street. Service was extended to USC in 1918. The route was given the letter designation K in 1921. Between 1932 and 1933, the line saw numerous reroutes. On September 11, 1933 the line began its ultimate routing, running from Ascot Avenue and East 38th Street to South Vermont Avenue and Florence Avenue. (38th Street was renamed to 41st Street in 1937.) The line was discontinued on October 5, 1941 and service from Jefferson and Vermont Avenues to USC was thereafter provided by the U line. The abandoned section became the basis for the company's bus route 18. ==Sources== ==External links== * K Line Archives — Pacific Electric Railway Historical Society * Category:Los Angeles Railway routes Category:Railway lines opened in 1913 Category:Railway lines closed in 1941 Category:1913 establishments in California Category:1941 disestablishments in California

Krishna Kumar, better known by his stage name K, is an Indian music composer. ==Background== K did his schooling at Padma Seshadri Bala Bhavan, Chennai, where he took lessons in playing the keyboard. He quickly progressed and finished Grade 8 certificate exams in music with the Trinity College of Music, London. K graduated in genetic engineering (BTech) from SRM University, Chennai. His musical talent found an outlet when he joined his first rock band aged 12, and then played with a successful funk/rock and roll band ‘Panatella’ for several years after that. He moved to creating jingles for advertisements and corporate films, singing several songs for the same. ==Music career== In the year 2010, K was brought on board for director Mysskin's film Yuddham Sei. The film's sound track was a hit. He then composed for Mysskin's Mugamoodi starring Jiiva. His next big career break came when famed cinematographer Rajeev Ravi roped him for his directorial venture in Malayalam, Annayum Rasoolum. The movie went on to become a cult favourite. He marked his debut in Bollywood with the Hindi remake of the hit Tamil film Pizza, by composing the background score of the movie. In 2015, the film Kirumi opened to positive response subsequently becoming one of the most acclaimed Tamil films of the year. Almost for the entire first half of the year 2016, K was working on the Dulquer Salmaan starrer Malayalam film Kammatipaadam, his second collaboration with Rajeev Ravi. K's background score for the film too received tremendous praise, with a reviewer saying "Composer K's music peps up these action sequences. With his adrenaline igniting music, he even manages to make the sight of bones cracking look cool. He is to Rajeev Ravi what Amit Trivedi and Sneha Khanwalker were to Anurag Kashyap in Gangs Of Wasseypur". Kallapadam, directed by debutant Vadivelu, was the first film in which K was featured on- screen. He had previously turned down a role in his first film 'Yuddham Sei', but had agreed to play one of the leads in Kallapadam. Directed by M.Manikandan of Kaaka Muttai and Kutrame Dhandanai fame, Aandavan Kattalai, his next major release was very well received. The music for the film, including the 9 songs, was supplemented by a background score where the lyrics of the songs were based on the dialogues on screen. In 2017, a Telugu remake of the film was made by Chinni Krishna, named London Babulu, which featured music re-used from K's Tamil original. The remake only featured 5 out of the 9 tracks from the original. Ammani, Lakshmy Ramakrishnan's 3rd film as a director, was released a month later amidst mounds of praises. The film received laurels from all sides, much to the surprise of the director who has been vocal in interviews about her expectations of a more neural response towards the film. The background music of the film was handled very maturely, leaving a lot of silent spaces, so as to not disturb the emotional and poignant storyline. The highlight of the Ammani album was 'Mazhai Ingillaye', sung by the prodigious Vaikom Vijayalakshmi, who rendered the song pitch perfect, adding to the unique blend of Carnatic music and synth sounds. In 2016, K composed the background score for N. Padmakumar's 'A Billion Colour Story' which won several awards and accolades worldwide, including Best Feature, LIFF, London, and Best Feature Audience Award, IFF, Los Angeles. In 2017, Sankalp Reddy's Ghazi (The Ghazi Attack) was released to raving reviews from viewers and critics alike. Produced by PVP Cinema, the film was released in three languages – Telugu, Tamil, and Hindi. The Hindi version of the film was distributed by Karan Johar’s Production House – Dharma Productions. K received widespread appreciation At the 65th National Film Awards 2018, the film won the Best Feature Film in Telugu. Anando Brahma, a Telugu horror- comedy directed by Mahi V Raghav starring Taapsee Pannu, was released on 18 August 2017. K composed the music for the film. The promo song features Malgudi Subha and is a rendition of a Mohammed Rafi song from 1970. K has worked on the music of Telugu film Yatra – a biographical film about Y. S. Rajasekhara Reddy. The film is written and directed by Mahi V. Raghav and stars Mammootty as YSR. In 2019, K agreed to compose for Prasanna Vithanage’s off-beat Sinhala film Gaadi which premiered at Busan International Film Festival in October 2019. In late 2019, he was also signed by Mani Ratnam's Madras Talkies to compose the background score of Vaanam Kottattum, written and produced by Mani Ratnam and directed by his protege, Dhana Sekhar. K has composed the music for the 2023 German Documentary, Sara Mardini – Gegen den Strom directed by Charlie Wai Feldman. ==Film discography== === Feature films === ====Indian films ==== List of K Indian film credits Year Title Language Notes 2011 Yuddham Sei Tamil 2012 Mugamoodi Aarohanam 2013 Annayum Rasoolum Malayalam Onbadhule Guru Tamil 2014 Mahabalipuram Kaadu Pizza Hindi Background music only 2015 Cartoon Malayalam 49-O Tamil Kallappadam also actor (as Himself) Kirumi 2016 Ammani Aandavan Kattalai Kammatipaadam Malayalam A Billion Colour Story English 2017 The Ghazi Attack Hindi Telugu Anando Brahma Telugu London Babulu Remake of Aandavan Kattalai.

K is a proprietary array processing programming language developed by Arthur Whitney and commercialized by Kx Systems. The language serves as the foundation for kdb+, an in-memory, column-based database, and other related financial products. The language, originally developed in 1993, is a variant of APL and contains elements of Scheme. Advocates of the language emphasize its speed, facility in handling arrays, and expressive syntax. == History == Before developing K, Arthur Whitney had worked extensively with APL, first at I. P. Sharp Associates alongside Ken Iverson and Roger Hui, and later at Morgan Stanley developing financial applications. At Morgan Stanley, Whitney helped to develop A+, a variant of APL, to facilitate migrating APL applications from IBM mainframe computers to a network of Sun workstations. A+ had a smaller set of primitive functions and was designed for speed and to handle large sets of time series data. In 1993, Whitney left Morgan Stanley and developed the first version of the K language. At the same time he formed Kx Systems to commercialize the product and signed an exclusive contract with Union Bank of Switzerland (UBS). For the next four years he developed various financial and trading applications using K for UBS. The contract ended in 1997 when UBS merged with Swiss Bank. In 1998, Kx Systems released kdb+, a database built on K. kdb was an in-memory, column-oriented database and included ksql, a query language with an SQL-like syntax. Since then, several financial products have been developed with K and kdb+. kdb+/tick and kdb+/taq were developed in 2001. kdb+, a 64-bit version of kdb+ was released in 2003 and kdb+/tick and kdb+/taq were released in 2004. kdb+ included Q, a language that merged the functions of the underlying K language and ksql. Whitney released a derivative of K called Shakti in 2018. == Overview == K shares key features with APL. They are both interpreted, interactive languages noted for concise and expressive syntax. They have simple rules of precedence based on right to left evaluation. The languages contain a rich set of primitive functions designed for processing arrays. These primitive functions include mathematical operations that work on arrays as whole data objects, and array operations, such as sorting or reversing the order of an array. In addition, the language contains special operators that combine with primitive functions to perform types of iteration and recursion. As a result, complex and extended transformations of a dataset can be expressed as a chain of sub-expressions, with each link performing a segment of the calculation and passing the results to the next link in the chain. Like APL, the primitive functions and operators are represented by single or double characters; however, unlike APL, K restricts itself to the ASCII character set (as does another APL variant, J). To allow for this, the set of primitive functions for K is smaller and heavily overloaded, with each of the ASCII symbols representing two or more distinct functions or operations. In a given expression, the actual function referenced is determined by the context. As a result, K expressions can be opaque and difficult to parse for humans. For example, in the following contrived expression the exclamation point `!` refers to three distinct functions: 2!!7!4 Reading from right to left the first `!` is modulo division that is performed on 7 and 4 resulting in 3. The next `!` is enumeration and lists the integers less than 3, resulting in the list 0 1 2. The final `!` is rotation where the list on the right is rotated two times to the left producing the final result of 2 0 1. The second core distinction of K is that functions are first-class objects, a concept borrowed from Scheme. First-class functions can be used in the same contexts where a data value can be used. Functions can be specified as anonymous expressions and used directly with other expressions. Function expressions are specified in K using curly brackets. For example, in the following expression a quadratic expression is defined as a function and applied to the values 0 1 2 and 3: {(3*x^2)+(2*x)+1}'!4 In K, named functions are simply function expressions stored to a variable in the same way any data value is stored to a variable. a:25 f:{(x^2)-1} Functions can be passed as an argument to another function or returned as a result from a function. == Examples == K is an interpreted language where every statement is evaluated and its results displayed immediately. Literal expressions such as strings evaluate to themselves. Consequently, the Hello world-program is trivial: "Hello world!" The following expression sorts a list of strings by their lengths: x@>#:'x The expression is evaluated from right to left as follows: # #:'x returns the length of each word in the list x. # > returns the indices that would sort a list of values in descending order. # @ uses the integer values on the right to index into the original list of strings. A function to determine if a number is prime can be written as: {&/x!/:2_!x} The function is evaluated from right to left: # !x enumerate the positive integers less than x. # 2_ drops the first two elements of the enumeration (0 and 1). # x!/: performs modulo division between the original integer and each value in the truncated list. # &/ find the minimum value of the list of modulo result. If x is not prime then one of the values returned by the modulo operation will be 0 and consequently the minimal value of the list. If x is prime then the minimal value will be 1, because x mod 2 is 1 for any prime greater than 2. The function below can be used to list all of the prime numbers between 1 and R with: 2_&{&/x!/:2_!x}'!R The expression is evaluated from right to left # !R enumerate the integers less than R. # ' apply each value of the enumeration to the prime number function on the left. This will return a list of 0's and 1's. # & return the indices of the list where the value is 1. # 2_ drop the first two elements of the enumeration (0 and 1) ==K financial products== K is the foundation for a family of financial products. Kdb+ is an in-memory, column- based database with much of the same functions of a relational database management system. The database supports SQL, SQL-92 and ksql, a query language with a syntax similar to SQL and designed for column based queries and array analysis. Kdb+ is available for several operating systems, including Solaris, Linux, macOS, and Windows (32-bit or 64-bit). ==See also== * J, another APL-inspired language * Q, the language of kdb+ and a new merged version of K and ksql. ==References== ==External links== * , Kx Systems * , kdb+ * Overview of K (with a link to K reference card) * Dennis Shasha - K as a Prototyping Language * K by Arthur Whitney (2005) * oK REPL for a K clone * Kona an open-source K3 implementation Category:APL programming language family Category:Array programming languages Category:Data-centric programming languages Category:Dynamic programming languages Category:Function-level languages Category:Proprietary database management systems Category:Programming languages Category:Dynamically typed programming languages Category:High-level programming languages Category:1993 software Category:Programming languages created in 1993

K1-2 is a planetary nebula in the constellation Pyxis. It was discovered by Czech astronomer Luboš Kohoutek in 1961. The central star of the nebula—VW Pyxidis—is a post-common-envelope binary composed of a hot degenerate star and a cooler companion in a close orbit. A best-fit calculation from its orbit and spectra yields a white dwarf-like star with around 50% of the Sun's mass and a main sequence lie star around 70% as massive as the Sun. Jets of matter are emanating from the system. One study yielded a surface temperature of 85,000 K for the hotter star. ==References== Category:Planetary nebulae Category:Pyxis

Koninklijke Beerschot Voetbalclub Antwerpen, or simply Beerschot, is a Belgian professional football club located in Antwerp, that competes in the second- tier First Division B after relegating from the top tier in the 2021–22 season. In 2013, KFCO Wilrijk decided to integrate the identity of Beerschot AC when they were relegated in the 2012–13 season, not only through their league position but also due to losing their professional licence through financial issues, being officially declared bankrupt on 21 May 2013 and folding shortly afterwards. The club colours are purple and white, they play their games on the club's home ground the Olympic Stadium often referred to as 't Kiel. == History == === KFCO Wilrijk=== The club was founded in 1921 as Football Club Wilrijk and joined The Belgian football association. As a result of the introduction of a national third division in 1926, the club played national football for the first time in their then short existence. Unfortunately the club ended third last, leading to their relegation after just one season. In 1931 the number of participants in the divisions was increased, causing FC Wilrijk to be included on the national level for the second time. FC Wilrijk lasted two seasons before being relegated again. In 1935 the club was promoted once more. Unlike their previous third division stays, FC Wilrijk showcased dominant football. This resulted in a 3rd position in the 1935–36 season and even becoming third division champions in the 1936–37 season. After winning their division the club was promoted to the second division lasting two seasons before being relegated in 1939. After a lengthy stay in the third division, FC Wilrijk was relegated to the Provincial division in 1949 which set a trend for the following decades. In 1993 KFC Wilrijk merged with Olympia Wilrijk 72. This other Wilrijk-based club, was founded in 1972 and part of the Royal Belgian Football Association, being assigned the association number 7727. Both clubs shared forces as KFC Olympia Wilrijk and continued under KFC Wilrijks association number 155. In 1994, the club reached the 4th division, playing national football for the first time in 45 years. In the 1995–96 season KFCO Olympia Wilrijk came in 3rd only two points short of standing victorious in their division. After eight years KFC Olympia Wilrijk ended third last, which led to being relegated. Their absence was short-lived however, as KFC Olympia Wilrijk was promoted the following year resulting in a three-year stay before being relegated. In 2008 the club was promoted again, only to be relegated in 2010. ===FCO Beerschot Wilrijk=== After Beerschot AC's bankruptcy in 2013, KFCO Wilrijk decided to harbour its fans. KFCO Wilrijk followed up by incorporating the name Beerschot and their respective colours in their own identity. The KBVB however decided that due to the name change, the club was no longer eligible to use the handle "royal" in their club name. Hence the club's name is FCO Beerschot Wilrijk rather than KFCO Beerschot Wilrijk. In order to retrieve their "royal" status, FCO Beerschot Wilrijk filed a successful application in June 2017. FCO Beerschot Wilrijk, became an instant success. Their season opener against Ternesse VV was attended by 8500 fans, which was a record for the Belgian provincial division at the time. This record was broken on 15 February 2014 during their game against fierce title contender FC De Kempen which was attended by 8982 fans and topped again, during their title game against KFC Katelijne-Waver on 22 March. This game was attended by almost 12000 fans and won by 5–0, gaining the club mathematic certainty about crowning themselves 2013–14 division champions. Due to the club's high attendance – weekly attendance that tops several first division teams – KFCO Beerschot Wilrijk is required to play their home games at the Olympisch Stadion (city of Antwerp) to guarantee the safety of their fans. This is the home ground of the fallen Beerschot VAC. The club reached an average of 7000 fans at home games during its first season in the 1st division of the province of Antwerp, which is quite a feat. This reputation was upheld during away games by bringing on average over 1500 fans, whom took pride in causing friendly banter in the most obscurely hidden cities and stadiums that the province of Antwerp holds. The club's success and vibe often lead to opponents renting bigger stadiums because the prospected attendance exceeds their own stadium capacity. 200px|thumb|right|Old logo used until 2019 when the name was changed from Beerschot Wilrijk to Beerschot For the 2014–15 season, FCO Beerschot Wilrijk was promoted to the 4th division in Belgian national football. In mid-March 2015, they held a 10-point lead over their closest rival. They were promoted to third division as champions of their group. In 2015–2016 they became champions of the third division after a sensational winning goal in the last minute of their last game. In 2016–2017 they became the first champion of the new '1st Amateur League' and gained promotion to the Proximus League, the second tier of Belgian football. In February 2018, Saudi prince Abdullah bin Musa'ad bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, owner of the English Premier League side Sheffield United, announced his investment in Beerschot alongside Belgian construction company DCA.Saudische prins investeert in Beerschot Wilrijk - GVA ===Beerschot=== In 2019, the club changed its name to Beerschot, and also changed the club logo. They played in the Proximus League for three seasons, and played the promotion final each year. Finally, after losing to Cercle Brugge K.S.V. and K.V. Mechelen , they gained promotion to the Belgian Belgian First Division A at the end of the 2019-2020 season. ==Results== Season League League League League League League League League League Division Points Remarks Belgian Cup I II III IV P.I P.II P.III P.IV 1 First Provincial League 70 Promotion. 2014–15 1 Fourth Division C 71 Promotion.
