In 1930 Belgica played its first season in the second division. In its third season at that level, the club won its league and thus played in the first division from 1933, finishing 12th on 14. The next season the club was 14th and then played in the second division until World War II. The club had meanwhile changed its name in 1936 to K.F.C. Belgica Edegem.
After World War II, the club played at lower levels in the Belgian football league system. It merged with K.V.V. Edegem Sport in 1967 to become K.V.V. Belgica Edegem Sport.
