The Roller Bulls Ostbelgien are a wheelchair basketball club from Sankt Vith in the German-speaking part of Belgium . The first team plays in the season 2019-2020 in the wheelchair basketball Bundesliga (RBBL), to which they belonged from 2009 to 2011 and from 2012 to 2015. The team also competes in the German Cup (DRS Cup). In 2008 she switched to playing in German competitions because the Belgian championship no longer seemed attractive enough. As the top team in Belgium, the Roller Bulls made up the entire Belgian national team. Since the 2017–2018 season, the Bulls have been competing under the name Roller Bulls Ostbelgien (previously: 'Roller Bulls St.Vith'). In September 2019 Joe Bongaerts from Hasselt took over the role of coach from Stefan Veithen, who left his position after the 2018-2019 season for reasons of time.

After the 2018-2019 season, the Roller Bulls Ostbelgien were only able to maintain their place in the 1st RBBL due to a lack of successors from the 2nd RBBL.
