Football matches in Mechelen

The season snapshot lists Mechelen under Mechelen and names AFAS-stadion Achter de Kazerne. The club stadium page that was opened calls the same ground Achter De Kazerne and gives two entrances. The main entrance is Kleine Nieuwedijkstraat 53, 2800 Mechelen. The second entrance is Malinwa Straatje between Liersesteenweg 32 and 50. The same page says supporters can walk around the outside of the ground. For the train, Mechelen-Nekkerspoel is the closer stop, about a 12-minute walk and one kilometre. Mechelen station is 2.5 kilometres and a 31-minute walk on that page. De Lijn stops at Caputsteenstraat on Liersesteenweg, a two-minute walk from the ground, at Biest with ten minutes, and at Veemarkt with 15 to 20 minutes. From one and a half hours before the match the driving page closes Kerkhoflei and Kleine Nieuwedijkstraat on the Caputsteenstraat side. Tickets go through tickets.kvmechelen.be or the ticket shop from Tuesday to Friday, 10:00 to 18:00. Each ticket has to carry the name of the person who uses it.

Plan a visit in the city

First settle the club Mechelen, the date, and the entrance the stadium page names. That is either Kleine Nieuwedijkstraat 53 or Malinwa Straatje between Liersesteenweg 32 and 50, not the AFAS-stadion label from the season snapshot on its own. For the train, weigh Mechelen-Nekkerspoel against Mechelen station, and for the bus check Caputsteenstraat, Biest, and Veemarkt on the club page against the De Lijn planner. By car, read the closure from one and a half hours before kick-off. Kerkhoflei and Kleine Nieuwedijkstraat on the Caputsteenstraat side are then closed, and the page warns against driving through the weekday cut any earlier. P Grote Nieuwedijk is at Grote Nieuwedijkstraat 313. The page gives only the two approaches from the E19, exit Mechelen-Noord or Mechelen-Zuid. P Telenet at Liersesteenweg 4 and P Tribune 3 at Ziekebeemdenstraat 5 need a parking card on a match day. Ticket sales start only after the security services have approved the match organisation. Abo+ has the first seven days, then season-ticket holders and Start2KV until four days before the match, then open sale.

What to distinguish in this travel scope

Two entrances at Achter De Kazerne

The stadium page names the main entrance as Kleine Nieuwedijkstraat 53, 2800 Mechelen, and Malinwa Straatje between Liersesteenweg 32 and 50. It says supporters can walk around the outside, so the entrance is not fixed to one door. The season snapshot uses the name AFAS-stadion Achter de Kazerne. The opened club page speaks of Achter De Kazerne and of 16,672 places for sitting and standing.

Nekkerspoel, Caputsteenstraat, Biest

The bus and train page puts Mechelen-Nekkerspoel at about a 12-minute, one-kilometre walk to the ground. It puts Mechelen station at 2.5 kilometres and 31 minutes, with a Blue-bike or a bus as the onward link. For De Lijn it names stop Caputsteenstraat on Liersesteenweg with a two-minute walk, Biest with ten minutes, and Veemarkt with 15 to 20 minutes.

Closure from one and a half hours

On a match day, from one and a half hours before kick-off, the driving page closes Kerkhoflei and Kleine Nieuwedijkstraat on the Caputsteenstraat side. The weekday cut, the red cross on Kleine Nieuwedijkstraat, is lifted from that same moment. Driving through earlier risks a fine, according to the page. For P Grote Nieuwedijk, Grote Nieuwedijkstraat 313, the page gives only the approaches via E19 Mechelen-Noord or Mechelen-Zuid.

Named ticket and three phases

The ticket page requires every ticket to be assigned to the person who enters the ground. Police, stewards, or private security can check the name. The shop at Kleine Nieuwedijkstraat 53 is open Tuesday to Friday from 10:00 to 18:00. Abo+ buys during the first seven days, at most four extra tickets. Season-ticket holders then follow with at most four tickets, and Start2KV with at most two, until four days before the match. Flex keeps priority on the holder's own seat until seven days before kick-off.
