In 2018, K. Lierse S.K. went bankrupt and negotiations between Lyra and fans of Lierse took place to create a club where the soul and spirit of both Lierse and Lyra would be represented.[2] Also the youth teams of Lierse were integrated into the structure of K. Lyra-Lierse.[3] To highlight this collaboration the name was changed to K. Lyra-Lierse, adding the mandatory "Berlaar"[4] to refer to the place where the matches are currently being played.

The club has a strong community focus and fan-driven culture by having 2 supporters, who are democratically elected, represented on the Board. Next to that, fans of the club have a veto on the club's "identity elements" (such as the name, the colours, the location of the stadium, etc.) and pre-emption rights on shares of the club.

Lyra is the Latin name for Lier.[5]
