The Olympisch Stadion or Kielstadion[1] was built as the main stadium for the 1920 Summer Olympics in Antwerp. It is currently used as the home ground of K.F.C. Germinal Beerschot, a Belgian football club.
It is possible that Archibald Leitch was involved in the design of the stadium having made several visits prior to the Games.[2]
