Trophy Jules Pappaert or Pappaert cup is a Belgian football trophy since 1953 and is awarded annually to a club in the first, second or third division of the Belgian Pro League with the longest uninterrupted series of unbeaten games.[1]
The award is given by La Dernière Heure / Les Sports and is named after the former footballer Jules Pappaert.[2] During the 1930s, he was Royale Union Saint-Gilloise's captain. In that period, Union was able to achieve a series of 60 unbeaten games,[3] a record that still stands as of 2022.[4]
