The Sovereign Stadium (formerly called Stedelijk Sportstadion) is a soccer stadium in the Belgian city of Lommel. It is the home ground of Lommel SK, a soccer club playing in the Belgian First Division B. The former club Lommel SK also played its home matches here until 2002.
In the 2015-2016 season, the stadium was adapted to the requirements of 1A. This was because Belgian soccer was reformed. The 8 highest ranked teams that met the 1A license requirements were given priority to participate in the renewed system of professional soccer. Part of the standing areas were replaced by seats.
Before these modifications, the stadium could accommodate 12,500 spectators; of which 1,800 covered seats, 10,500 standing seats, 433 outside seats and 178 inside seats.
After the modifications, a total of 5,000 seats and 3,000 standing rooms were available.
