1901 Coupe Vanden Abeele
The 1901 Coupe Vanden Abeele (English: Vanden Abeele Cup) was a friendly football match held at the ground of Beerschot A.C. in Antwerp, on 28 April 1901. That match was contested by representative teams of Belgium and the Netherlands, and ended in a 8–0 win to the Belgians, but more important than the result was its historical significance, as it was the first international football match played in continental Europe, official or otherwise. The cup was named in honor of the donator of the trophy, Frédéric Vanden Abeele, the Antwerp football director, who organized this match after the huge success of the first edition of the Coupe Van der Straeten Ponthoz in 1900. Due to schedule issues, the Dutch side was ultimately mostly formed by players from a third-level Rotterdam club, Celeritas, at the initiative of its captain, J.C. Jirris, together with Cees van Hasselt, a former Sparta player. This match is not considered official by FIFA because neither team can be considered a ful ...
