==History==

Achilles Bocholt was founded in the summer of 1986 by about fifteen young people. After a year of training, the first team was formed in 1987. In the 2003/2004 season, the team won the second division, making it the first time in its history to get into the [[Belgian First Division (men's handball)|Belgian First Division]]. They were allowed to compete in an international cup for the first time in the 2013/14 season, in the [[EHF Cup]]. Here, the Hungarian [[Tatabánya KC]] was able to win both in [[Tatabánya]] (30-22)<ref>https://m.nemzetisport.hu/kezilabda/ferfi-kezi-ehf-kupa-nyolcgolos-elonyt-szerzett-a-tatabanya-2277893</ref> and in [[Bocholt, Belgium|Bocholt]] (35-30),<ref>https://olimpia.hu/hirek/ferfi-ehf-kupa-ujra-nyert-tovabbjutott-a-tatabanya</ref> so the team was eliminated in the first round. During its history, 5 national championships (in 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019 and 2023), 7 Belgian Cups (in 2013, 2015, 2017, 2019, 2021, 2022 and 2023) and won 6 [[BENE-League Handball|BENE-League]] (in 2013, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020 and 2023). The colors of the club have changed many times over the years: green and white from 1987-1992, blue-white from 1992-2003, green-black from 2003-2020, and blue-black from 2020.

History[edit]

Achilles Bocholt was founded in the summer of 1986 by about fifteen young people. After a year of training, the first team was formed in 1987. In the 2003/2004 season, the team won the second division, making it the first time in its history to get into the Belgian First Division. They were allowed to compete in an international cup for the first time in the 2013/14 season, in the EHF Cup. Here, the Hungarian Tatabánya KC was able to win both in Tatabánya (30-22)[1] and in Bocholt (35-30),[2] so the team was eliminated in the first round. During its history, 5 national championships (in 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019 and 2023), 7 Belgian Cups (in 2013, 2015, 2017, 2019, 2021, 2022 and 2023) and won 6 BENE-League (in 2013, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020 and 2023). The colors of the club have changed many times over the years: green and white from 1987-1992, blue-white from 1992-2003, green-black from 2003-2020, and blue-black from 2020.
