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) and in
Bocholt (35-30), 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
