Parking on Royal Antwerp FC match days

On race days, it is extra busy around the Tawny Owl. The city of Antwerp also mentions that P+R Bosuil is reserved for supporters on match days. On other days, this is just a public park and ride.

Royal Antwerp also reports that Parking Gosselin (paying) is, but that carpooling is rewarded: those who are in the car with at least three people can park there for free (according to the club rules on the parking page).

Practical on match days:

1. Departure on time
2. Pre-plan your parking
3. If possible, opt for carpooling, tram or bus
4. Avoid last-minute searches near the stadium

Official parking options and mobility around the Tawny Owl

The most relevant official sources for parking and accessibility are:

• Royal Antwerp F.C. (practical stadium info + Gosselin parking)
• City of Antwerp (P+R Tawny Owl)
• Smart to Antwerp (route planner and mobility advice)

This way, you can choose what is most convenient for you in advance:

• close parking (but more limited)
• Using P+R
• come entirely by public transport

Rates and payment options

The club communicates that Parking Gosselin (paying) is, with the exception of carpooling with at least 3 people (free according to RAFC parking rules). For exact rates and any updates, always check the official RAFC page before departure.

Because rates and conditions may change by season or match, it's smart to check your parking option in advance and reserve where possible.

Access and accessibility

The Bosuil Stadium is easily accessible in Deurne. According to the official RAFC practical info, these are the most important public transport options:

• Tram line 5 (stops) Deurne - Antwerp Stadium and Deurne - Hermans)
• Bus line 19 (stop) Deurne - Bosuilplein)

RAFC also explicitly refers to Smart to Antwerp to plan your route to the Tawny Owl. This is useful if you want to check the best combination of car, P+R, tram or bus live.

Alternative transport options

If you want to avoid the hustle and bustle, it's best to opt for alternative mobility:

• Public transport (tram 5 or bus 19)
• P+R Tawny Owl (on match days for supporters)
• Carpooling (extra interesting for Parking Gosselin)
• Bike (RAFC mentions bike parking around the stadium)

For many supporters, this is the most comfortable approach: park a little further or come via P+R, and do the last part by tram or on foot.

Parking for visitors and supporters

For visitors and supporters, the main difference is:

• do you want as close to the stadium as possible parking?
• or do you want arrive and depart more smoothly?

Parking close by is convenient, but fills up faster. By planning in advance (or reserving a private spot), you can avoid stress right before kick-off. The club itself emphasizes that the parking capacity at the Tawny Owl is limited, so preparation really makes the difference here.
