The 2015-16 campaign delivered a determined push for the title for Anderlecht as the Purple and White secured a respectable 2nd-place finish in the Pro League Championship Play-offs. This hard-fought position ensured a coveted spot in the UEFA Champions League qualifying rounds. Leading the charge was the powerful Italian forward Stefano Okaka, whose 15 league goals proved vital in a campaign also highlighted by an impressive run to the Round of 16 in the UEFA Europa League. It was a significant year that marked a return to European contention and remains a defining chapter for manager Besnik Hasi and the club's development of young stars.
