History
Tubantia Football & Athletic Club was founded in 1915 and first accessed to the second division in 1928 finishing 8th. The next year it finished 2nd and thus played the first division in 1930–31 finishing 11th on 14 (this year R.S.C. Anderlecht finished last). However Tubantia finished 13th one season later and was relegated with F.C. Turnhout. The club then enjoyed a spell in the second division. In 1940 Tubantia F.A.C. changed its name to K. Tubantia F.C.

In 1954 it was relegated to the third division and it would never come back at this level, as of 2006. The club however merged with K.R.C. Borgerhout in 1960 to become K. Tubantia Borgerhout F.C. Eleven years later it changed the F.C. to its Dutch counterpart V.K. (for Voetbal Klub).
